Alan’s success comes after some viewers were left disgruntled over the comedy man’s Christmas Variety Show. 

The comedian and fellow presenter Amanda Holden opened the show with a string of jokes. 

But some viewers felt the presenting was a touch ‘awkward’.

The annual charity fundraising event saw a string of famous faces including Sir Elton John, Ted Lasso‘s Ellie Taylor, and Britain’s Got Talent winner Sydnie Christmas perform in front of King Charles.

Alan began the Royal Albert Hall show, which was filmed back in November, by poking fun Amanda’s racy gown and declared it was ‘just on the right side of an Ofcom complaint’.   

He continued: ‘I feel a great sense of comfort and security sharing a stage with you, well it’s a high profile event and if Just Stop Oil come at the stage, I can use you as my human shield.’

While Amanda quipped: ‘Well, good luck to them because I will end up being their first victim who ends up less orange.’

Some X fans fumed: ‘Are Alan Carr and Amanda Holden ruining the Royal Variety for anyone else, or just me?’: ‘We have hit rock bottom I see @ITV with the Royal Variety Carr and Holden? Just not funny. Why are they presenting: ‘Well Alan Carr and Amanda Holden are absolutely dreadful. This opening is so awkward’.

While someone else wrote: ‘Honestly, who thought Alan Carr and Amanda Holden were the right choice for this? They might be great at other things but the Royal Variety Performance needs presenters with the right balance of class and charisma. Bradley Walsh would have been perfect for the job’.

But many did shower the duo with praise, with one penning: ‘Amanda Holden is so hot oh God!’

‘Talent on the Royal Variety Performance tonight is epic – Amanda Holden and Alan Carr, couldn’t ask for better presenters.’

‘Alan Carr and Amanda Holden are really good together.’
