Alan Carr issues plea to King Charles over royal honour: 'Another year, another slight!'
Alan Carr has his sights set on a very prestigious role
It seems Alan Carr is vying for some recognition from King Charles.
The beloved comedian and Changing Ends star is said to be “fuming,” that King Charles hasn’t chosen him for a very special honour.
Chatting on his podcast, Bottom’s Up! with Lee Peart, Alan revealed vented about something that “p****d” him of.
Unfortunately for the monarch, it appeared to be “another slight” he had dealt Alan’s way.
King Charles fails to ‘recognise’ Alan Carr
Alan’s co-host Lee prompted the conversation when he explained that, on the contrary to many, he doesn’t actually mind January, despite it sometimes feeling like the longest month of the year.
He pointed out that we “expect” January to awful.
When actually, he finds February a “little bit dreary”.
Alan then joked that is why people shouldn’t do Dry January, the challenge where people give up booze for the whole of January.
The comedian quipped that January is a rather “grim month” to give up alcohol.
Why Alan Carr is ‘fuming’ with King Charles
Explaining why his January was even more disappointing, Alan said: “Hey, that’s another thing that p****d me off about being January.
“New Year’s Honours List; another year, another slight!
“Surely, I’ve been in showbiz for 25 years. I do loads for f*****g charity. Nothing. I do this podcast with you.”
Alan Carr wants a knighthood
Lee then replied that perhaps an MBE “comes first” before a knighthood.
“Oh no, skip that. I want knighthood,” Alan responded.
Lee then hit back, stating that he didn’t think you could just “skip” out on the honour.
Alan then insisted: “You can! Oh yeah, you fast track, babes. Honestly, I’ll fast track.”
Lee then quipped that Alan had “spoken like a true potential knight”.
Alan then hilariously conceded that his comment was spoken like a “true fantasist”.
The New Years Honours Awards explained
This years New Years Honours Awards included celebrities like actor Idris Elba, professional ice skaters Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean and actor Warwick Davis.
This tradition has taken place since the Middle Ages.
It recognises those who have “made achievements in public life” and “committed themselves to serving and helping Britain”.
The Honours are awarded based on merit or on exceptional achievement or service.
They are awarded twice a year. In the New Year and on the king’s birthday.
Who was recognised this year?
These merits can range from receiving a knighthood or damehood to getting a CBE, MBE, OBE or GBE.
There is often a variety of people awarded as those honoured can be chosen by either government departments or members of the public.
This means both famous faces and members of the general public are included.
A slew of telly stars were recognised this year.
TV presenter Gabby Logan was awarded an OBE for services to sports broadcasting and to charity, whilst TV star and comedian Matt Lucas was awarded an OBE for his services to drama.
Wicked star, actor Cynthia Erivo was awarded an MBE for her services to music and drama and actor and comedian Meera Syal was awarded a damehood for her services to literature, to drama and to charity, just to name a few.
Maybe we’ll see Alan on the list later this year!
