The 42-year-old TV star has joked his famous friend is his inspiration when it comes to being more adventurous in bed with his husband Paul Drayton.

He is quoted by the Daily Mirror newspaper as saying: "David Beckham says marriage is hard work and he's right. Me and my husband Paul have been together 10 years - in gay years that's around 200 and almost unheard of.

"Posh and Becks have been together almost double that time - imagine how bored of each other me and Paul will be by then?

"But we add a bit of spice and freshen things up with role play. Obviously I dress as Gemma Collins in bed. And we often like to pretend to be Elton John and David Furnish - the Poundland version."

Alan - who has dressed up as the 'TOWIE' star both at parties and for a 'Love Island' skit in the past - tied the knot with Paul in January after a decade together, and 'Hello' hitmaker Adele got ordained to play a big role in the special day.

As well as marrying the pair in her back garden in Los Angeles in front of just four people, she also insisted on paying for the entire day.

Alan previously revealed: "It was a very special day. She was amazing. She got ordained.

"I said, 'Let me pay for something,' and she said, 'No, I'm paying.' She paid for the whole thing."

On Friday (26.10.18), Alan will be taking part in a special skit for 'Stand Up To Cancer' on Channel 4.

The star is leading the charge for a supergroup fundraising song in a similar vein to Band Aid's 1984 festive classic 'Do They Know It's Christmas?' with plans to film the entire thing for a mockumentary called 'The Big C List'.
