Peek into Alan Carr's personal life, including his father's fame as a soccer player.

Alan Carr is known for his successful career as a comedian, presenter, and writer. However, he has also used his personal experiences and upbringing as inspiration for his latest TV show. Throughout the years, Alan has hosted popular shows such as The Friday Night Project, Alan Carr: Chatty Man, and RuPaul's Drag Race. In 2008, he even released his autobiography Look Who It Is! and last year, he created the semi-autobiographical series Changing Ends.

The show follows Alan's life as a young boy growing up in Northampton in the 1980s. His father, Graham Carr, was a professional football manager and former player who led Northampton Town F.C. to win the Football League Fourth Division title in 1986-87. While everyone around Alan was in awe of his father's success, the show delves into the challenges he faced while navigating adolescence with a famous family.

The second season of Changing Ends premieres today, but before tuning in, let's take a closer look at Alan's personal life, which has been a significant source of inspiration for his projects over the years. Many have wondered if Alan is married, and the answer is no. He is openly gay but has previously stated that he does not want his sexuality to define his work. In 2008, he spoke about not wanting to be a role model simply because he is gay and on television. He also shared that he has been comfortable with his sexuality since a young age and was never in the closet.

Alan was previously married to his partner of ten years, Paul Drayton. The couple tied the knot in Los Angeles in 2018, with Adele officiating the wedding. However, they announced their split four years later, following Paul's conviction for driving under the influence. Alan was open about his struggles after the separation, especially after his beloved dog, Bev, passed away. He admitted to feeling lonely and struggling to be alone at home. He later revealed that Paul's alcohol addiction was a significant factor in their split.

Graham Carr, Alan's father, is a former professional footballer, manager, and scout. He played for various teams and eventually became an associate director for Northampton Town. Changing Ends is a semi-autobiographical series that sheds light on Alan's upbringing. The show stars Oliver Savell as a young Alan and Shaun Dooley as Graham Carr. Season 2 of Changing Ends airs tonight on ITV1.
