Alan Carr, known for his role on Celebrity Traitors and his ITV sitcom Changing Ends, is gaining even more attention. The BBC has reportedly "poached" the 49-year-old comedian for a new prime-time quiz show featuring celebrity guests.
This move follows rumors about a new TV deal for Carr, eight years after his Channel 4 talk show, Chatty Man, ended. According to The Sun, Alan was recently flown abroad to film a pilot in a glamorous European city.
"Unquestionably, Alan is the hottest man on TV right now. Everyone wants a piece of him. But the BBC have acted quickly and last week he was jetted out to a swanky European city for a day of filming a pilot."
The deal positions Carr in potential competition with his Celebrity Traitors co-star Jonathan Ross, who has recently renewed his contract with ITV to continue hosting The Jonathan Ross Show.
Alan Carr is stepping into a new high-profile role with the BBC after success on ITV, marking a significant moment in his television career.
