Carr: 'Women see me as a challenge'

Alan Carr has revealed that women frequently propose to him.

The comedian said female fans consider his homosexuality a challenge similar to climbing Mount Everest.

He told the Daily Star: "I'm deluged with marriage proposals. I even get naked photos.

"Some women see me in the same way mountaineers see Everest - I'm a big challenge but they still want to mount me and stick a flag at the top."

Meanwhile, Friday Night Project co-host Justin Lee Collins admitted that he is not particularly enthusiastic about sex.

The comic, who is married with two children, revealed: "I’d rather have a pint than sex. Far too much effort involved in my opinion.

"Maybe I’m just not very good at it. I’m very good to the point of cuddling. But sex… I could easily go for long periods without. Once every six months would be too often for me."
