Alan Carr has hired a personal trainer following split from husband

The 45-year-old TV star has joked he wants a “revenge body” after announcing his decision to divorce the 49-year-old actor and party planner after 13 years of marriage.

Speaking on his Life’s a Beach podcast, Carr told guest Joe Wicks that he hired a personal trainer after the split, quipping: “I have just gone through a divorce so I told the trainer I want a revenge body. But I think he thought I said I wanted a blancmange body.”

Wicks then explained the mental health benefits that Carr will also experience from getting fit, saying: "Tap into the mental health benefits of exercise. If you wake up with energy, you’ve got the time to exercise, you’ll want to do it for your mind to feel less stress, especially when you are going through something emotional."

Alan shared what the 36-year-old fitness fanatic told him: “Do it for those reasons and the fat loss will come.”

The ‘Chatty Man’ host might have been inspired by his friend and wedding officiant Adele, who lost 98 pounds after splitting from her husband Simon Konecki in 2019, the father of her nine-year-old son Angelo.

However, the ‘I Drink Wine’ hitmaker has denied she shed the pounds to get a “revenge body” but picked up exercise to manage her anxiety.

Adele said: “I did it for myself and not anyone else.”

In January, Paul pled guilty to one count of driving a motor vehicle with an alcohol level above the limit after he was found to be behind the wheel over four times the legal limit. While appearing at Brighton Crown Court, he was given a 12-week suspended sentence.
