Claudia Winkleman explains her Celebrity Traitors picks: 'How could you not?' ...Middle East

*Warning: Celebrity Traitors spoilers ahead.*

After much build-up, including the celebrity contestants digging up their own graves to win shields and taking part in the first challenge of the series, it was time for the famous faces to plead their case as to whether they should be a Faithful or a Traitor.

But just how did Winkleman choose her Traitors? While the decision isn't solely down to the host, it was a no-brainer for some of the picks.

"Then I go into a room with the bosses from the BBC, the brilliant casting group, and we sort of work [it] out together. We don't have long, but Alan said he wanted to be a Traitor, and they were compelling. So how could you not?"

The onus was put on Alan Carr, who was instructed to touch someone's face with pollen from a poisoned flower, all without arousing suspicion from the other contestants.

Viewers will also see if Alan Carr was the right pick, as his nerves certainly got the best of him throughout the day after being chosen as a Traitor – a fate he didn't even know he wanted.

"I'm not known for my poker face, but you've just got to adapt. I'm indecisive, and that's the problem. But I think that's probably good because I’d say it’s best to have an open mind.
