Alan Carr on split from husband Paul Drayton

However, in January of 2022, Alan announced the couple’s split. A statement noted they had “jointly and amicably made the difficult decision to divorce”.

The break up came just weeks after Paul underwent an operation on his skull. Furthermore, in October of 2021, Paul was involved in a drink-drive car accident.

He was freed on unconditional bail until January 26, 2022, and disqualified from driving.

Additionally, Alan spoke out last August to say he was supporting Paul after he had ‘fallen off the wagon‘.

‘Sorting himself out’

Speaking in June 2022, Alan – who stars on Changing Ends this weekend – admitted he is looking for a better work-life balance.

He told the Daily Record he intends to ‘sort himself out’ – and that could mean stepping away from showbiz.

Next year, you’ll probably see a bit less of Alan.

Alan reflected sadly: “Life’s given me one of those years. Professionally, it has been amazing but personally, it’s been a bit rubbish.”
