Celebrity Traitors star Alan Carr searching for Scottish castle home in new Disney+ series

Now Alan Carr has been inspired by his Traitors experience to search for a Scottish castle “to call [his] own” on a new TV series.

Castle Man, which will be shown on Disney+ will follow Carr on his property search, in a show produced by Expectation, the production company behind Clarkson’s Farm.

Carr will conduct his search across the UK, with a number of locations in Scotland set to feature.

BBC show The Traitors, which concludes its latest series this week, is filmed in Ardross Castle in the Highlands.

Carr said: “Most people, when they have a midlife crisis, get a Lamborghini – but me? I want my very own castle. Since I was a boy in Northampton, I’ve always dreamt big, and have always been enchanted with the history and romance of a stately home and as I turn fifty, I feel it’s my time. All I want is a turret to call my own - get me over that drawbridge!”

Ben Wicks, creative director, entertainment and executive producer at Expectation said: “What an incredible project: Alan Carr looking to buy a castle befitting his status as comedy royalty and a national treasure, and soon finding himself responsible for the very real, right royal pain of making it all work. We’re delighted to be following Alan’s dramatic – and undoubtedly hilarious – journey and doing so with Disney who thankfully have a great deal more history with castles.”

Sean Doyle, vice president, unscripted, at Disney+, said: “Alan Carr is one of those rare talents who brings instant warmth, wit, and originality to everything he touches.

“We’ve watched him turn his hand to stand-up, gameshows, podcast, and presenting, but when we discovered he was looking to purchase a castle to run, we knew this was a journey we had to follow. Expect Alan in new territory, with all the same riotous entertainment you know and love.”

It has not been confirmed when Castle Man will be released.
