Bottoms Up! With Alan Carr and Lee Peart

This week on Bottoms Up! Alan’s back from Suffolk with a bottle of gin… but it doesn’t exactly agree with him. What happens to Alan when he has too much? Lee’s been busy hitting not one, but two red carpets, rubbing shoulders with the A-list - but which guest at the Kinky Boots Gala has he got serious beef with? With Alan also up for two BAFTAs, the boys dive into red carpet etiquette, dodgy photos, and what it’s really like facing the paps. Wine expert and best-selling author Helen McGinn (@knackeredmother) joins the boys to reveal the best supermarket wines you should actually be buying - and the everyday snacks that pair perfectly with them. Her new book The Supermarket Wine Guide is out May 21st and available to pre-order now.

This week on Bottoms Up! Lee gets invited to a wine tasting… with absolutely no idea what he’s doing. Confronted with a spittoon for the first time, he’s faced with the ultimate dilemma: spit or swallow? The boys sample Welsh wine from The Dell Vineyard and debate the correct way to tackle Cardiff’s legendary Chip Alley - mayo, cheese, curry sauce, or gravy? Plus, Lee recounts the time he nearly caused a scandal in a Welsh country pub… just for asking for a slice of orange in his G&T. Meanwhile, Alan’s been forced into a digital detox after losing his phone, Lee’s gearing up for Easter, and Alan has some strong opinions about the state of chocolate eggs these days. There’s also a brand-new segment, where the boys discover which wine pairs perfectly with Disco Scallops from The Broadcaster.

Alan and Lee have been on a Royal Visit this week - and they’ve brought back Kate and Wills' favourite champagne. But on a private tour of Horse Guards Parade, what did they actually learn before getting distracted by a very handsome stable hand? Alan’s been sucking on Lee’s bishop… after borrowing his travel chess set for a game of strip chess with Carol Vorderman (naturally). The pair weigh in on Timothée Chalamet’s recent opera comments, and Alan shares the time he took his mum to the opera - only for her to spend the night accosting Rod Stewart.
