Alan Carr on Adele weight loss: 'It's because she's stopped drinking'

Alan Carr has said that giving up alcohol is behind Adele's recent weight loss.

The Chatty Man host, well known for his close friendship with the 21 star, posed alongside his Irish Setter Joyce for Heat magazine.



"Aww, those glasses suited her," he said. "And she was so well behaved. I've worked with the Hollyoaks lot and, believe me, Joyce has got better table manners."

Discussing his friendship with the star, Carr explained: "We get on so well because we're both quite normal. Her world's gone a bit crazy and she needs a bit of normality, I think. She's the most down-to-earth girl. We have such a laugh.



"She comes round and we have a cup of tea, a packet of HobNobs, put the world to rights and watch Four In A Bed or Come Dine With Me. She's the least showbizzy person I know. It pisses me off, actually - I'd like to be on her private jet. I'm quite resentful."

On how she is "so supportive" of his career, he continued: "Before the 'Spexy Beast' tour, I did warm-up gigs at a little 60-seater room above the Soho Theatre [in London]. She was sat at the back, cackling away. Then she came to Wembley and had front-row seats, with that laugh of hers. I wish she could be at every gig I do. I want her in the front row of Chatty Man every week."

Telling the magazine that the 23-year-old is "looking great", the comedian revealed: "The only reason she's lost all that weight is because she's stopped drinking. She's not on any diets. She had Chicken McNuggets at mine the other night.

"She's just not drinking because of her throat. It's a bit boring, to be honest. It's like having Sister Wendy or a monk round. I love a nice glass of red, but she's like, 'Oh no, I'll just have a cuppa'."
