Alan Carr, who won Celebrity Traitors last year, is in a new series with Amanda Holden — and fans have already taken to social media, including X and Instagram, to express their love
Alan Carr fans believe the comedian has already made one of the TV moments of the year.
The star, who won Celebrity Traitors last year, was seen falling headfirst down a waterslide last night during his new show, Amanda & Alan’s Greek Job on BBC One. The scene, recorded at a water park during the duo’s break between renovating their latest property in Greece, left viewers in hysterics.
Fans liked it so much they dubbed the clip the best TV moment of 2026 so far, less than one week into the year. One X user said: “Alan Carr with the highlight of the year already?!” Another posted: ” know it’s only January 5th but Alan Carr falling out of a rubber ring on a water slide is TV moment of the year”.
It follows Alan’s successful 2025, during which he won Celebrity Traitors, was tipped to become a new Strictly Come Dancing presenter and the third series of his sitcom Changing Ends aired.

Amanda persuaded Alan, 49, to take a turn on a slide called The Black Hole, warning: “It’s pitch black, you won’t see anything”, to which he nervously replied: “That sounds awful!”
But Alan accepted his friend’s challenge, asking the lifeguard to “pray for him”. The presenter then pushed himself down the long tube, while sat in a large rubber ring. Before long, the Chatty Man star was flipped head over heels out of the inflatable and came hurtling out of the tunnel, to Amanda’s guffaws.
And viewers at home were amused too. They heaped praise on the host, who beat Ant and Dec, Graham Norton and Sarah Millican to win a BAFTA for Alan Carr: Chatty Man. Alan, born in Weymouth, Dorset, emerged adored by the nation after creating TV gold on Celebrity Traitors. He was linked with the Strictly vacancies but it emerged last week his 2027 tour clashes with that year’s season of the BBC show.
The clip showing the slide escapade has been widely shared on social media. In the programme, he is then comforted by Amanda, 54, who wraps the distressed comedian in a towel. The programme, on the BBC, is Alan’s first TV gig of 2026, during which he will also appear in a Channel 4 competition series with Susie Dent, and compete in Amazon Prime’s LOL: Last One Laughing UK.
But last year, Alan was picked as the Traitor by Claudia Winkleman, 53, in the dramatic first episode of the star-studded version of the BBC show.
Joking he had a “sweating problem”, openly laughing at banishments and unable to call himself Faithful with a straight face, it seemed unlikely that he would be able to keep up appearances until the bitter end.
