"From then on, Alan Carr, Britain's least inconspicuous presence, blustered and flustered and sweated his way through 70 minutes of TV gold, a nerve-steadying glass of rosé never far from reach. When Kate Garraway suggested he was a Faithful, he could only turn away, his role as the gameshow Judas written across his goofy grin.
