Alan Carr recovering after on-stage collapse from shooting pain in his leg

Jul 11,2022 2:30 pm

Alan Carr has reassured fans he is " Fine " after he collapsed on-stage with a shooting pain in his leg.

The Comedian had to finish his show at Glasgow's King's Theatre on Sunday on crutches after suffering what he later described as " the worst cramp ever".

Some thought it had been all part of his act until Carr posted a picture of himself icing his leg with frozen peas afterwards.

He subsequently told fans he felt " silly" but fears he has torn a muscle.

" I've been performing up in Glasgow and there's a bit in my routine where I pretend to be Jason Statham and I high-kicked, And Then I got the worst cramp ever, " he explained in an Instagram video seemingly posted from his Hotel Bedroom .

" Oh My God ! It was shooting pains and I was rolling around on the floor, and people thought it was part of The Act . "

Carr went on to explain that he had had to finish The Last Five Minutes of The Show in pain, with The Help of his " lovely tour manager" who pushed a crutch through The Curtains for him to help him to stand.

He Said he had taken some pain relief tablets since and was essentially now " healed" but thinks he may have torn leg muscle, as well as suffering a bruised ego.

" I'm Fine . . I just felt silly rolling around the floor, " he added. " I've never felt pain like it, but I will solider on as I always do. "

Reacting to his post online, fellow comic John Bishop replied: " What a Trooper - You are an example to us. "

" Worried About You , " presenter Vanessa Feltz posted. " Should You be checked out by a GP or at A& E just to be sure? "

Carol Vorderman simply exclaimed: " Oh Al. "

" Oh, bless You , " offered actress Martine Mccutcheon . " What a Trooper ! Rest up and Take Care of yourself tho please! "

'Rubbish year'

His on-stage collapse came mid-way through what Carr recently described as " a rubbish year" after his separation from husband Paul Drayton .

The funnyman, who had his 2018 wedding officiated by his superstar friend Adele, that some of The Material for his current Regional Trinket Tour focused on his nuptials.

" I wrote it [The Show ] before Covid, " He Said . " We had a week to go and it was all written and done. It was about me Getting Married and Adele getting ordained especially to Marry Me and Paul.

" But then, during Covid, The Relationship fell apart, and I was divorced when we came out The Other end. So it's probably my most personal [tour], but it sort of works and it's quite raw and I go to places that I don't normally talk about. It's like therapy really. "

Last week the 46-year-old also spoke about his " weird rivalry" with the late Sir Bruce Forsyth ahead of The Launch of Alan Carr 's Epic Gameshow on ITV.

Carr told the Press Association that the pair " often had a laugh" at one another's expense on TV,

He recalled how his fellow entertainer and presenter, who died in August 2017, had Singled Out his breakthrough Chatty Man Talk Show as a " hit".

Last Year , Carr revealed he was about his life Growing Up in his hometown Northampton in the 1980S .
