Alan Carr has been a great friend of mine for years so I was delighted when he said he'd be my first ever guest on Mad, Sad and Bad! 🫦 Anyone who's ever seen or met Alan will know he has a magnetic presence and is a true entertainer. He's one of the funniest people I know, but I was excited to speak to him and go beyond the funny man and delve into a more serious side of Alan... We speak about the grief of losing a pet and exchange some (quite mad) stories of dating on the other side of divorce. He also shares the worst thing he's ever done, and I don't mind telling you, my jaw dropped... #ALANCARR #PALOMAFAITH #MADSADBAD 00:00 Alan Carr comes round 02:24 I stole Alan’s shoes 03:14 Alan meets my mum Pam 3:50 MAD 04:05 What makes Alan mad? 6:16 Alan’s basically dating the Deliveroo man 07:30 Our dating lives and how Alan uses humour as a shield 10:25 Learning to take a compliment 10:53 SAD 10:59 Why does Alan loves being sad? 12:44 Alan gets comedy from his sadness 14:33 Have you ever cried on org*sm? 16:46 The grief when dog Bev died 17:26 “I nearly shat myself!” 18:51 Alan opens up about his marriage ending 19:40 Crying in public 22:10 Why am I like this?
