Alan Carr got fat-shamed on holiday in Iceland
The ‘Changing Ends’ creator and star spilled about how he and his brother Gary Carr were both insulted by people during their recent trip.
The 46-year-old comedian said on his ‘Life’s A Beach’ podcast: “I got fat-shamed believe it or not. Not in the hotel - outside.
“My brother is big-boned like me - bigger boned. They fat-shamed me and him.
“I got scared on the glaciers. I said, ‘Gary, can I jump on the back of your snow plough’. They said, ‘Get off! Get off! Too heavy.’ How rude.”
Alan attributed the extra pounds due to the pandemic and joked it left him with a “pair of jugs”.
He added: “I can’t lose my Covid weight so I’ve got a pair of jugs now. I can’t actually do the brace - because of my t***.”
Meanwhile, Alan recently opened up about his new semi-autobiographical sitcom 'Changing Ends' which charts his rise from bullied kid to renowned television star.
He received more than 450 tapes from young actors wanting to play him in the series and recalled noting that there was "something there" when he saw the audition tape of the series' young star Oliver Savell.
Speaking on ITV's 'Lorraine', he told showbiz reporter Ria Hebden: "I'm filming a sitcom based on my life. We've done my home life, we've done the school and now we are here. This looks just like the Country Ground. I spent every Saturday here watching my dad up the cobblers.
"My childhood was really funny and it was bittersweet, the show is warm, it's funny and the boy playing me, Olly [Savell], is such a talent.
"We searched everywhere for little Alan and I got over 450 tapes from people thinking they could play me as a kid. Some of them were so heartwarming, some of them were just downright offensive but Olly sent his tape in and there was something there. I got choked up watching it, I hope people laugh, I hope people have a cry."
