Celebrity Traitors' Alan Carr's slammed by Linda over scathing jab as she issues warning

Former The Traitors star Linda Rands has reacted to Alan Carr's recent scathing admission that he is a 'worse' Traitor than she was.

Linda, who appeared in the third series of the hit BBC show, became a popular figure in her series as her over-the-top reactions and blunders made her a hilarious Traitor. Despite her apparent muck-ups, Linda managed to remain in the show for seven episodes until she was finally banished after being unable to deflect growing suspicion around herself.

She is also well-remembered for having a raising a fellow contestant's suspicion almost instantly after she was chosen at the first round table as she appeared to respond when Claudia called the Traitors.

However, as the spin-off show Celebrity Traitors kicked off earlier this week, one star admitted he thought he'd be able to top Linda's performance – or lack thereof. As, after Alan Carr was selected by Claudia Winkleman to be a Traitor, he made a scathing confession.

Speaking in a confessional, comedian Alan said: "I tried to be like 'haha' just laughing as if I'm not a Traitor but oh God... I'm worse than Linda, I am worse than Linda."

Now, Linda has given her reaction to Alan's cutting dig at her Traitor skills. Speaking to Ed Gamble and Paloma Faith on The Celebrity Traitors: Uncloaked, she said: "Charming!"

Ed then asked, "Can we rate Alan's efforts in the murder in plain sight, how did he do?" To which Linda said: "I think it was a mistake and I think he will get his comeuppance. Desperately, because I mean, why already has Clare [Balding] worked it out that, 'who would be the least likely person for him to get rid of' so she's already got her... because you [Paloma and Alan] were already so close... so she's already got her eye on him and I think that will be his downfall."

Meanwhile, in a video posted to Instagram, Linda elaborated further on her thoughts on comedian Alan, as she said: "Well I didn't think anybody could be worse than me so I'm sure he will be fine.

"I thought, 'cheeky to say that about me!' I was quite shocked by the fact he brought my name up, that he even knew who I was to be honest. I think he has to be very careful because I've got a feeling he might make a slip up.

"On the other hand, he might be just like me. I mean, I managed to get quite far because most people did not believe that I was a Traitor because I was so over the top." She added: "I mean it could go his way or it could go against him, to be honest."

The first two episodes of Celebrity Traitors have already got off to a cracking start as we saw Jonathan Ross, Cat Burns and Alan recruited as Traitors. Their first mission was a tricky one as they were tasked with murdering a Faithful in plain sight – as one of them had to find and touch a poisoned lily before touching a Faithful's face, which would cause them to suffer a "slow death".

Alan was the Traitor tasked with making the first murder and chose his pal Paloma Faith. After her murder was revealed, the rest of the group took to the roundtable to share their theories on who the Traitors could be, but fans will have to wait until next week to find out who will be banished.
