Alan Carr to take time out of showbiz as he recovers from divorce

Alan Carr will be “taking a break” from showbiz following the breakdown of his marriage, saying that he needs to “sort himself out”. The presenter, 46, separated from his husband Paul Drayton in January after 13 years together. Paul and Alan tied the knot in 2018 after 10 years together as a couple - with singer, Adele, involved in the nuptials.

Speaking to Laura Boyd of What’s On Scotland, Alan said: “During Covid, the relationship fell apart, and I was divorced when we came out the other end.” He was talking ahead of what he described to be his “most personal” tour and described performing as being “like therapy”. Although 2022 has been an “amazing” year professionally for the Chatty Man, he said that personally it has been “a bit rubbish”.

Recently, Alan returned to host another series of Alan Carr’s Epic Gameshow. On the Saturday, June 25 edition, he will be hosting a new version of classic game show, Bullseye. Alongside this, Alan’s Regional Trinket tour is currently underway, with dates across the country in June, July and September before he goes global with international events right into December.
