Alan Carr was overcome with emotion after receiving a special recognition award at the National Television Awards (NTAs), though the surprise didn’t stop him from sharing his thoughts on The Celebrity Traitors season two. The comedian and presenter was clearly taken aback when the award was announced, and he later described the moment as unexpected. After accepting the award, he was taken into the winners’ room, where he was joined by Metro’s Asyia Iftikhar. In the winners’ room, Alan was asked to name his "dark horse winner" for The Celebrity Traitors season two, a competition where celebrities are divided into teams and one member is secretly chosen as a "Traitor." He picked Miranda Hart, saying she reminded him of himself and that her involvement would make for "TV gold." He also joked about his friend Joanne McNally, calling her a "motormouth" who would be a "whirlwind" on the show. Alan was left speechless after winning the award, which had been kept secret from him until the ceremony. He seemed confused when NTA host Joel Dommett announced that the next award would feature a musical number. When singer Paloma Faith was carried onto the stage in a coffin, singing "I Know Him So Well," the realization hit him. The moment was made even more emotional when his friend Amanda Holden joined her on stage, prompting Alan to break down in tears. A video then played, featuring messages from Alan’s friends and colleagues praising his talent and kindness. As the video played, Alan continued to sob, and the moment was met with an outpouring of support on social media, with many applauding his emotional reaction.
