Alan Carr

Alan Carr has revealed that he would like to team up with Susan Boyle for a new TV show.

Alan named Susan as the perfect replacement for his former screen partner Justin Lee Collins when interviewed for Star magazine.

Carr explained: “I always get on with women more than men, so maybe me and Amanda Holden or me and SuBo. Now that Richard & Judy are gone it could be Alan & Su.”

He added that Susan is also welcome to appear on his Channel 4 show ‘Chatty Man‘ anytime as a guest.

He also commented: “I enjoyed Britain’s Got Talent, but it got a bit scary when Susan hitched up her skirt. She’d have to come on with someone – I don’t mean a carer – but maybe the dancing granddad. We’d clump them together and get some sense out of them.”

Speaking to the Sunday Mirror, he explained: “Susan absolutely loves the life she is leading now. But it has left her fearful of going back to how things were, living on her own waiting for her singing dream to come true. She has asked me many times: ‘Gerry, what happens if this all stops?’”

Commenting on the incident, Gerry added: “Susan doesn’t take rejection very well. That’s not to say she doesn’t bounce back, she does. It’s a lack of confidence and a case of getting overworked up. With Britain’s Got Talent it all just became too much.”
