More recently, he has hosted Interior Design Masters and been seen in travel shows, visiting Italy and Spain with Amanda Holden – Greece is next on the pair’s list.

However, Carr’s personal life also made the news when he split from husband Paul Drayton in 2022, following the latter’s conviction for drink-driving.

In Last One Laughing UK, Carr will be up against the likes of David Mitchell, Diane Morgan, Maisie Adam, Romesh Ranganathan, Mel Giedroyc and series one winner Bob Mortimer.
