Channel 4 funny man Alan Carr has said that he was lucky to land his current boyfriend, after a wardrobe malfunction on the night they met.

“I had this lovely light-blue Prada shirt and quite nice slate-grey trousers and funky shoes. As I went out, I spilt red wine down my trousers, so I thought I’d put on my other dark-grey trousers,” he told Heat.

“So I left, I looked in the mirror, and I look like I work at Tesco. I thought, no-one’s going to fancy me! I should be packing bags and helping get their trolley to the car!

“I was gutted, but he still liked me. And in this business it’s so nice to have a plus one.”
