Alan Carr, 49, has proclaimed he's "worse than Linda" as he struggles to keep his cool as a Traitor in the celebrity version of the show. But something he's remarkably better at is interior design. He picks up tips and tricks when filming Alan and Amanda's Spanish Job and its spin-off shows. He's applied his knowledge impeccably inside the walls of his London bachelor pad. Check out where the comedian calls home - including where he displays a very interesting gift from his ex - a cow's head sculpture! 

The presenter announced his split from his husband, Paul Drayton, in 2022, and since then, he has remained living in his London property. He has revealed glimpses of it online, and it has also played host to his podcast, 'Life's A Beach', in the past. Take a look around...

The star split from his husband three years ago

Alan's gift from ex

In an interview with House Beautiful, Alan revealed the unique gift from his ex husband that he still has hanging on his wall - a glass cow's head! "I've got a cow's head in the kitchen," he candidly said. "My ex gave it to me. I should have known divorce was on the cards."

Alan's modern lounge

This glimpse of a sitting area leading out onto the garden was shown in a funny video Alan filmed with podcast guest Atsuko Okatsuka, which shows how stylish the interiors are. It has sky-high ceilings and a tall bookcase located behind a snug chair. Alan is lucky to have large floor-to-ceiling doors that lead outside to the secluded and private garden.

Alan has a modest-sized garden

Another snapshot from the same video gives a better view of the garden. The size is modest, which is typical of terrace properties in the capital, but it's no less impressive. 

Alan has glass panes in the middle of the decking to see below, and two stylish chairs are placed on top for when the warmer months allow for time outside. The garden is also surrounded by pretty foliage.

The comedian was pictured in his kitchen

Alan's kitchen

The star's kitchen features a modern electric hob and a hidden extractor fan above it. 

There is also plenty of pristine marble surface space, thanks to the generous square footage and the island in the centre of the room.

Above the surfaces are mirrors which reflect the light and can often make a room feel even bigger.

Pour us a drink please Alan!

Alan's bar area

We love this bar area in another part of Alan's home. The pretty shelves are placed just behind the kitchen island and breakfast bar and are stacked with colourful bottles and delicate cocktail glasses.

Alan's colourful style

Alan's lounge has a large navy coloured sofa with an array of patterned cushions. But the most eye-catching part of the room is the colourful wallpaper. The feature wall has been lined with abstract-style designer wallpaper, which adds texture and vibrancy to the room.

Alan's carefully curated shelves are gorgeous

This photo of Alan's shelves proves how much thought he's put into the interior design choices.

On the wooden shelves, which happen to match the herringbone wooden flooring, are colour trinkets, bird ornaments, a small cactus plant, an abacus and an array of books and frames. 


What happened to Alan's relationship?

Appearing on an episode of Paloma Faith's podcast, 'Mad, Sad and Bad', the former Chatty Man host opened up about navigating the dating scene since splitting from Paul.

He said that people were looking for the "clickbait" reasons why he and Paul decided to part ways, but that it was a case of the marriage running its course. "The marriage just fell apart," he said candidly, adding, "It was 13 years, we gave it a good go." Alan then shared that he's beginning to date again, but his self-esteem has held him back.
