"Alan Carr's days on The Celebrity Traitors looked perilous from the start. Just 32 minutes into the first episode, after the comedian had been selected as a "traitor", his body started to betray him. Beads of sweat began forming on his forehead, making his face shiny. "I thought I wanted to be a traitor but I have a sweating problem," he admitted to cameras. "And I can't keep a secret.""
"All sorts of well-known people, from Hollywood actors and models to singers, have opened up about bodily functions in ever more brazen detail over the last decade. (Fellow Traitors contestant, the actress Celia Imrie, admitted in an episode this week: "I just farted... It's the nerves, but I always own up.") On sweat struggles specifically, Steve Carrell and Emma Stone have talked openly, and model Chrissy Teigen revealed in 2019 that the perspiration around her armpits was so irritating that she had Botox injections."
Alan Carr experienced visible sweating soon after being labelled a 'traitor' on The Celebrity Traitors, and he openly admitted a sweating problem. A microbiologist identified the sweat as likely eccrine, produced by glands activated by stress. Many celebrities have publicly discussed bodily functions, including Celia Imrie admitting to passing gas, Steve Carell and Emma Stone mentioning sweat, and Chrissy Teigen receiving Botox to reduce underarm perspiration. Adele reported a fungal infection linked to heavy sweating. Retail and activewear markets reference sweat with products like 'sweat suits' and brands such as Sweaty Betty.
