The final episode of The Celebrity Traitors delivered everything viewers had hoped for — drama, treachery, and an explosive climax that felt straight out of a Hollywood action movie. Fans flooded social media with praise, calling the final challenge “absolute cinema” and “the campest action sequence in history.”
The five remaining contestants — Alan Carr, Joe Marler, Cat Burns, Nick Mohammed, and David Olusoga — faced their most intense mission yet: racing through a moving steam train to collect keys that unlocked £20,000 in cash before the train exploded.
Host Claudia Winkleman gave the group just 20 minutes to complete the task, warning that real explosives were on board. Viewers were left holding their breath as the team cracked padlocks, dug through barrels of rocks, and fought through tangled chains — all while the clock ticked down.
With only seconds left, they managed to grab the money and sprint off the train just before it erupted into a massive fireball behind them. “Alan Carr and Nick Mohammed running in slow motion away from an explosion like they’re in a Jason Bourne movie — oh this is cinema,” one fan posted on X.
Others joked that the BBC “used up their entire budget” on the stunt, while another declared: “Michael Bay could never!” The spectacle was described as “Temu James Bond,” “the most cinematic thing I’ve ever seen,” and “bloody epic.”
The explosive sequence was followed by an emotional finale. Alan Carr, who had been secretly playing as a Traitor, managed to deceive his remaining co-stars and claim victory. When his true identity was revealed, he broke down in tears, admitting: “All the lying and treachery tore me apart. I was awful — I had no poker face. But here I am.”
Nick Mohammed’s last-minute betrayal of “Faithful” Joe Marler changed the game’s outcome entirely, cementing Alan’s path to the £87,500 charity prize.
After weeks of alliances, suspicion and shock twists, The Celebrity Traitors ended not just with a bang — but with an explosion that had the entire nation talking.
