Celebrity Traitors fans fume as Alan Carr 'kills off' favourite in shock first elimination

BBC's Celebrity Traitors started off with the murder of the first contestant in episode two tonight - leaving everyone shocked.

At the end of last night's episode, Traitors Alan Carr, Jonathan Ross and Cat Burns were told they needed to commit their first murder in plain sight. It was then revealed they must touch the face of the Faithful they want to murder - with them deciding Alan was the most unsuspecting for the job.

Last night, viewers were left on a huge cliffhanger, and just 24 hours later, their questions were answered, as we saw Alan go and touch the face of one unlikely contestant.

Viewers watched on in shock as he touched the face of singer Paloma Faith, who was left gutted with her early departure. However, she didn't learn of her fate straight away as her 'slow death' meant she had to 'attend her own funeral' as an iconic challenge returned.

Alongside Niko and Lucy, Paloma lied in a coffin as she waited for her fate to be revealed. At this point, Paloma realised it was her, although the players chose to lock in Lucy, meaning they lost the change to add £4,000 to their prize fund.

Of course, as the Traitors knew, it was wrong, and Paloma was evicted from the game as Claudia savagely shut her coffin. "Rest in Peace," Claudia said as the contestants had to leave without saying a proper goodbye.

“I thought I wasn’t going to get emotional but I feel really sad. It’s been really a wonderful experience - I wish it had been longer," she told cameras.

Fans were left gutted by the murder as they took to X, formerly known as Twitter to express their sadness. "NOT PALOMA HOW DARE U ALAN," with another writing: "NOO WHAT PALOMA!!"

Of course, no one wants to be the first out, but before entering the show, the singer said she had 'no desire to win'. Asked whether she was a competitive person, she said: "I always say no to this question, and everyone who knows me says I am! I believe in doing the best you can, and I have high expectations for myself.

"I'm not somebody who gives up, but I don't have the desire to win. I think in my life, all the winning I've ever done has been like an alternative type of winning."

However, the star may be gutted that she didn't get to wear all her outfits, previously revealing that was what she was most looking forward to.

"Got some great outfits! It’ll be the first time that I've been on TV and self-styled. I can let loose and see if people like my actual style!"
