Alan Carr gives fans update after collapsing on stage and admits ‘I’ve never known pain like it’

Comedian Alan Carr has given fans an update on his health after collapsing in front of an audience when he experienced “shooting pains”.

The 46-year-old was performing at Glasgow’s King’s Theatre on the latest stop of his Regional Trinket tour when the incident occurred. Alan shared a photo to his Instagram Stories after the show with a bag of frozen peas pressed to his calf, and later confirmed that a “tear” in his leg was the reason for the collapse.

Alan took to Instagram to reassure fans following the incident. “I’ve been performing up in Glasgow, and there’s a bit in my routine where I pretend to be Jason Statham, and I high-kicked - and then I got the worst cramp ever,” he explained in a video posted to his one million followers.
