Comedian Alan Carr has disclosed that a psychic who visited his childhood home predicted he would become famous. The revelation came during an appearance on ITV's This Morning, where he discussed the latest series of his sitcom Changing Ends.
Carr recounted the incident, saying: “A fortune teller came to the door and she was selling pegs, and she went to my mum, ‘Your kid’s gonna be famous’. So, that’s actually in there. And, of course, I’m like, ‘What, him? I want to be famous’. But that genuinely happened. That is crazy.”
The comedian also spoke about the challenge of casting his younger self for the show, which is inspired by his early life. After reviewing 450 audition tapes, the production team discovered Oliver Savell. Carr praised Savell, saying: “He was literally the last one to come through the door... He was spot on... he’s just brilliant.”
Reflecting on his recent victory in the BBC series The Celebrity Traitors, Carr admitted to experiencing a competitive edge: “I love it. What came over me? I started getting a bloodlust. I wanted a murder.”
