Celebrity Traitors finalist Alan Carr has begun filming for a new BBC game show and is also in talks for a comeback of his iconic Chatty Man chat show, it has been reported.
The chat show aired for a final time with a Channel 4 Christmas special in 2017. However, given Alan’s stand-out performance as a Traitor on the first-ever celebrity series of the show, it’s now expected the chat show will return.
Alan Carr ‘films new show’ amid Chatty Man comeback
According to The Sun, the 49-year-old comic has already secretly filmed a pilot episode for a new prime-time celebrity-led BBC game show. It was reportedly shot last month as part of a “bumper deal” between Alan and the Beeb.
A source alleged: “Unquestionably, Alan is the hottest man on TV right now. Everyone wants a piece of him. But the BBC have acted quickly. Last week he was jetted out to a swanky European city for a day of filming a pilot.”
“It went well and now it’s just a matter of when, not if, this gets greenlit,” they continued, adding: “There is also talk of bringing back a version of Chatty Man. Alan has incredible contacts and would get some brilliant guests.”
ED! has contacted reps for Alan for comment on this story.
