Amanda Holden’s Halloween Impression of Alan Carr Draws Applause
The entertainment world was abuzz on October 31, 2025, as Amanda Holden, a television judge and mother of two, took to social media to share her hilarious Halloween impersonation of her comedy pal, Alan Carr. The moment was captured during an episode of Celebrity Traitors, where the duo, alongside their daughters Lexi and Hollie, donned elaborate costumes to celebrate the holiday.
Holden’s dedication to the Halloween theme was evident as she not only wore a full traitor’s cloak but also adopted Carr’s distinctive look. She accessorized with chunky glasses identical to Carr’s signature style and even held up a lantern, further enhancing the illusion. Her daughters, Lexi and Hollie, got in on the fun, adding an extra layer of comedy to the scene.
The Impression Went Viral
Holden shared a short clip and several pictures of her Halloween impersonation on Instagram, where she had 2.6 million followers. Accompanying the posts, she wrote, “A trait(or) trick for you. Ahead of tomorrow… #HappyHalloween.” The post quickly gained traction, with friends and fans alike praising Holden’s uncanny resemblance to Carr.
Reactions poured in from fellow celebrities and show regulars. Ruth Langsford, host of Ed, commented, “Brilliant,” while Claudia Winkleman, the host of Celebrity Traitors, showered Holden with a flurry of love heart emojis.
Myleene Klass and Nicole Appleton also joined in on the fun, posting laughing face emojis to express their amusement.
The joke seemed to have landed well with Carr himself as he commented, “This is brilliant!” Despite their close friendship and years spent filming together, this interaction highlighted how much the duo enjoyed each other’s company. Their shared history, including their collaboration on the Italian Job, only added to the authenticity of the impersonation.
A Recent Controversy Eclipsed by Holiday Spirit
The spirit of Halloween overshadowed a recent controversy that had rocked the cast of Celebrity Traitors. In an episode aired just days prior, Alan Carr and fellow traitor Cat Burns were tasked with eliminating another faithful member from the show. This task was particularly controversial as it involved murder, which included a dinner party toast with the words “Parting is such sweet sorrow.” The decision to eliminate beloved actress Celia Imrie further ignited debate among fans and critics alike.
The incident caused outrage on social media, with many users expressing their disappointment. One user remarked, “Murdering Celia!
That’s a step too far!!” Another added, “Don’t think I’ve been so angry at a murder #CelebrityTraitors.” Despite the controversy, the Halloween impersonation brought light-heartedness back to the show.
As the holiday festivities continued, Alexander Armstrong, who recently joined the cast of Celebrity Traitors, added his voice to the chorus of approval. His comment, “This is brilliant!” echoed the sentiment shared by many on social media, signaling a return to the show’s lighthearted atmosphere.
The Halloween impersonation served as a stark reminder of the camaraderie and playful rivalry that define Celebrity Traitors. As the episode wrapped up, it left audiences eagerly anticipating what other surprises might come their way in future installments.
