Carr also said that, since appearing on Celebrity Traitors, he has been recognised more in public.
The comedian recently went on holiday to Mexico, explaining: “I’m never spotted over there.
“I was on the way to the pool and I heard this woman from the balcony, ‘I see you, traitor. Don’t you hide your face from me. Who are you going to murder today?”‘
He joked the comments made him look like a real murderer, and said: “People who don’t know I was in The Traitors must think I’m a serial killer.”
Hosted by Claudia Winkleman, The Traitors follows a group of contestants – the majority of whom are known as the faithful – as they try to seek out the murderous traitors among them who kill off players every night in an attempt to win a cash prize.
Set in the Scottish Highlands, the contestants complete a number of challenges to win money for the prize pot and must try to root out and banish the traitors at a roundtable discussion each night.
The first series of the show’s celebrity spin-off was a huge ratings success for the BBC, reaching more than 15 million viewers (including catch-up viewing) when it concluded last November.
Earlier this week, it was announced the show would be adapted for the West End stage.
Carr presents his new series, Secret Genius, alongisde Susie Dent. The show begins on Sunday and Channel 4 says it is intended to “spotlight the country’s undiscovered brainboxes”.
