Overview
- The BBC series confirmed its five finalists as Alan Carr, Cat Burns, Joe Marler, Nick Mohammed and David Olusoga after the latest episode’s campfire reveal.
- Carr travelled to Orlando, Florida, and told Heart radio hosts he needed to ‘get away’, joking he is the ‘most hated man in the UK’, and said he will return in time for the final.
- Recently banished contestant Kate Garraway said Carr’s strategy works because he appears guilty even when telling truths, which others interpret as ‘just being Alan’.
- Fresh odds reported by MyBettingSite place Nick Mohammed as favourite to win, with markets suggesting Carr is most likely to be banished next, though the outcome remains to be decided on-air.
- Nick Mohammed described strict on-set isolation—no devices and even no access to the time—which he said led one participant to ‘kick off’ and call knowing the time a ‘basic human right’.
