Whilst fellow Traitor Cat was voted out, Carr was able to turn Nick Mohammed and David Olusoga against Joe Marler, voting the rugby star out.
Alan would eventually be announced as the winner, bursting into tears when the burden was dropped.
The show looked to be in the bag for Joe, Nick, and David, but the expert has revealed the moment that Joe's body language failed him, allowing Alan to turn Joe's biggest ally Nick against him.
Speaking on behalf of OLBG, Darren Stanton said: "Joe’s behaviour was unusual. When he gets accused, he starts smiling, which raises questions.
"Sometimes people display things as deception, but it’s normal for them, which can give the wrong impression."
During the roundtable Joe was accused and, whilst he survived, Nick attributed voting him out to Joe's parting words to Cat, telling her he was sorry.
Stanton went on to say: "Joe’s body language changed during that round table; he became slightly arrogant. He kept smiling, and his head tilted back.
"This is the kind of behaviour he hasn’t exhibited before. He thought it was in the bag, and he displayed overconfidence and arrogance, which made the others shift.
"Meanwhile, Alan was like the cat that got the cream."
The moment in the roundtable ultimately decided the entire finale, with Alan, Nick, and David ending up as the final three celebs standing, giving Alan the win.
Fans on social media were shocked, with one tweeting: "Nah Nick picking Joe is the ultimate betrayal."
Many however were simply appreciating the absolutely bonkers end to the show.
One tweeted: "Never in a million tears did i think i’d be shedding tears over Alan Carr winning the Celebrity Traitors, but here we are.
"What an incredible final."
BBC TV pundit Scott Bryan called the reveal of Alan as a Traitor 'F*CKING SHAKESPEARE', before going on to add: "Simply some of the best television this year. We are so very lucky."
Another viewer tweeted of Alan's reveal: "TV MOMENT OF THE YEAR RIGHT THERE. Glorious."
