Alan Carr divides fans as Royal Variety Performance host after awkward Prince William quip

Jackie P admitted: “Best #RoyalVarietyPerformance for years Alan Carr is better than a lot of the hosts they have had. Nice to laugh again.”

Alan recently admitted worrying about saying the wrong thing at the Royal Variety Performance due to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge watching in the audience.

The star said on Good Morning Britain: "Oh, of course you worry. My mum and dad were there as well, it was just so stressful.

"I'm so glad it went well. And the thing is, I'm so glad I saw them laughing. Because, of course, you don't look up at the royal box when you're performing.

"But when I actually first appeared at the Royal Variety back in 2005, there's actual footage of the Queen laughing at my Tesco Clubcard joke!"
