Western Mail
|November 10, 2025
THE family of a Welsh three-year-old boy who died of cancer has issued a heartfelt thank-you to Celebrity Traitors winner Alan Carr.
The 49-year-old comedian went undetected in his role as traitor in the hit BBC show, meaning he took away the prize pot of £87,500 for his chosen charity, Neuroblastoma UK.
Thursday's final drew an average of 11.1 million live viewers with a peak of 12 million, with Carr using his platform to shine a light on the devastating disease that many families have never heard of until their child is diagnosed.
Joseph Yeandle, from Carmarthen-shire, was diagnosed in April 2021 and sadly lost his battle to cancer two days after Christmas in December 2021. His mum, Katy Yeandle, described her son as “the kindest, funniest and most loving boy”
Joseph’s Smile charity was set up in the youngster's memory, and helps to raise grants for families, and has close links to Neuroblastoma UK.
After Carr's win, they wrote: “We cannot put into words to describe how it felt seeing Alan Carr win Celebrity Traitors for Neuroblastoma UK.
