And now it\u2019s time to wrap up. What a series this has been. Next year\u2019s series, both civilian and famous, can\u2019t come soon enough. And now I\u2019m done for the night. Thank you for joining me, all.<\/p>\n
Share<\/a><\/p>\n And now the moment we\u2019ve all been waiting for: Alan Carr has apologised to Paloma Faith. Peace in our time.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n This is a masterclass of a post-match interview, and I am absolutely not doing it justice. Please go and watch it when you can, because it feels like we\u2019re watching Alan Carr become a national treasure in real time.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n His biggest regret, he says, is killing off Tom Daley, because it prevented the nation from seeing any more gratuitous shots of Tom Daley in the show.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n And now he\u2019s onstage with everyone else. He\u2019s tanned, and he\u2019s had a haircut, like the winner that he is. He\u2019s more relaxed and confident now, and can even laugh off the infamous Paloma Faith murder, and how it fuelled his quest for blood.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Alan is proud of himself, he says, because now he has discovered that he can convincingly lie. I\u2019m not sure that should really be the moral of a primetime BBC One reality show, but we get what we deserve.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n And now to Alan. First we see him immediately post-win, where he still hasn\u2019t processed the sheer level of deception he managed to deploy. But he does reveal that he expected to do so badly that his agent booked gigs for him during the second week of the show.<\/p>\n We are watching him achieve national treasure status in real time \u2026 Alan Carr.

Apparently on rewatching the finale, he shouted \u2018SCUMBAGS\u2019 at Nick and David. God bless that man and his absolute lack of showbiz insincerity.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Nick\u2019s takeaway is that he was the wrongest contestant on the entire series. Ed Gamble politely disagrees and suggests that David was actually the wrongest contestant. All the while, Kate Garraway gets to have a nice sit down in the audience.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n And now the finalists are onstage to dissect the climax of the series. Joe is dressed like a normal person again, and I am personally very disappointed.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n I\u2019ve just noticed that Paloma Faith has one hundred percent Single White Femaled Claudia Winkleman tonight. I hope that comes up later.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Claudia Winkleman has turned up in an \u2018I HEART ALAN\u2019 shirt. She\u2019s talking through the finale, during which her knees were apparently knocking together with fear. She also points out that the game is much harder to play than to watch, which I\u2019ve decided to take personally.<\/p>\n
