Celebrity Traitors rich list REVEALED: Comedians Jonathan Ross and Alan Carr come out on top but one surprise star boasts VERY impressive fortune
Celebrity Traitors has been the biggest hit of the year so far, and now it’s been revealed which of our favorite stars has the biggest pay packet.
It may come as no surprise that the two highest earners have also been mainstays on our television as comedians and hosts for more than a decade.
Jonathan Ross’ production companies recently opened accounts with Companies House.
BFQ Ltd has £768,607 in reserves and Hot Sauce TV Ltd has £693,398 in reserves, for a total reserve of £1,462,005.
They paid around £181.5k in corporation tax at 25 per cent; This means a total profit of £726 thousand for the year.
Alan Carr’s UK firms, meanwhile, were dissolved, but he signed a two-year contract worth £4 million with Channel 4 12 years ago; so it’s safe to assume that his total net worth would now be more than £20 million.

BAFTA award-winning Historian David Olusoga may not be as well-known as some of his compatriots on the BBC show, but he has proven to be as financially savvy as he is history-wise.
His company, OP Words and Pictures Ltd, is now worth £1,161,316.
He paid £26,214 in tax last year, representing a profit of over £100,000.
Another person that not everyone knows is musician Cat Burns, who is rumored to win the show.
The British candidate has impressed every contestant on the show and her bank balance is equally impressive.
He owns two music-related firms, CB Collaborations Ltd, with accounts revealing a total profit of £237,817.
Homegrown Live Ltd meanwhile shows a profit of £192,790. The combination of the two makes for a very healthy profit of £430,607 for last year.
Comedian and actor Nick Mohammed’s Riddikulus Ltd may have a silly name but he’s serious when it comes to making money.
It has £843,338 equity capital, including £655,568 ‘cash in the bank’. It paid £32,506 in corporation tax last year, representing a profit of £130k.
Former rugby player Joe Marler, meanwhile, is still making money despite retiring from the sport last November.
Joe Marler Ltd’s reserve rose from £594,100 in 2023 to £746,490 last year, so the firm has increased its equity capital by £152,390 in the last 12 months.
Last but not least is actress Celia Imrie, who is now equally famous for her impromptu farts on the show.
He has never directed a company in the UK, but has appeared in numerous major films such as Calendar Girls and the Bridget Jones series.
Alan Carr’s UK firms, meanwhile, were dissolved, but he signed a two-year contract worth £4 million with Channel 4 12 years ago; so it’s safe to assume that his total net worth would now be more than £20 million.

On Thursday night, Claudia, 53, will oversee the action as the final five celebs attempt to uncover the Traitors and take them down before the prize money is handed out (seen in the first episode)
Even if she earned a tenth of the leading stars in these hit films, Celia would be worth more than £5 million after 50 years in show business.
On Thursday night, Claudia, 53, will oversee the action as the final five celebs attempt to uncover the Traitors and take them down before the prize money is handed out.
As viewers brace for a dramatic conclusion, some think the outcome of the BBC One series is now ‘clear’.
Last week, rugby star Joe, 35, set his sights on Alan and Cat, 25, after their latest roundtable where Kate Garraway bought the shoe.
The last five were gathered around the fire pit by Claudia, who asked them to pledge their loyalty to each other by looking into each other’s eyes and saying, “I am a Faithful.”
However, things did not go well for Alan, who had a target on his back and he laughed while trying to say this sentence.
Fans think it’s obvious that this will spell the end of the Renegades duo; not just because of Alan’s mistake, but because Kate’s exile leaves Cat as the last woman standing.
Viewers felt it was clear at the beginning of the show that host Claudia would choose a female Traitor to provide balance, putting herself in the line of fire with Cat being the last woman standing.
One wrote: ‘Cat voting for Kate seems really stupid to me; just because there was no recruitment and only one (male) traitor was exiled.
‘Anyone considering the production will realize that they will be casting at least one female traitor – and she’s now the only woman left!’
Another agreed: ‘I’d say this is more likely than obvious as we’ve had single-gender Traitors teams in the past.’
While a third added: ‘This may be what Joe and/or Nick understand, but it hasn’t come up explicitly in any of the discussions we’ve seen.’
A fourth continued: ‘They were all so obsessed with the ‘Big Dogs’ that they may not have considered whether they might consider at least one woman as the Traitor.’
A fifth wrote: ‘Cat is also in trouble age-wise; ‘probably the production would have liked a young villain to appeal to a younger demographic’, while a sixth concluded: ‘Cat’s got a bit of a screw up now.
‘There’s no way the others won’t understand that there has to be at least one female traitor.

Finally, there’s actress Celia Imrie, who is now equally famous for her impromptu farts on the show.
‘I wonder if banishing Kate was actually tactical because they weren’t as sure as Cat that she was a Traitor, and they knew there had to be at least one woman, but potentially two.’
After watching Alan laugh in the fire pit, Joe set his sights on the pair and told the cameras: ‘This is just another confirmation of what I already thought about Alan.
‘He can’t even look us in the eye and say, ‘I’m a believer.’ If that’s not a red flag, I don’t know what is.’
Famous Traitors ends on Thursday at 9pm on BBC One and will be available on iPlayer.
