Bottoms Up! With Alan Carr and Lee Peart

This week on Bottoms Up! Alan Carr and Lee Peart are joined by national treasure, boyband royalty and now global winemaker, Gary Barlow.

Gary brings along a selection of his own wines for the boys to enjoy as they chat about everything from the latest Take That tour to his journey into winemaking as well as his new TV show, Gary Barlow's Food & Wine Tour: New Zealand.

Elsewhere, Alan's nose is put firmly out of joint as they discuss the star-studded cast of the new series of Celebrity Traitors. Will everyone forget about him once it starts?

The boys also swap showbiz stories as Lee reveals an unexpected connection to Gary, while Alan recalls a dinner with a celebrity chef that left him feeling rather hot under the collar.

Plus, inspired by Gary, an audience dilemma has the trio searching for the perfect New Zealand wine to impress your friends with.

Take That - The Circus Live is on tour now. Tickets available from takethat.com. Gary’s wine range is available in stores now and at garybarlowwines.com

This week on Bottoms Up!, the country’s in the middle of a heatwave, so Alan Carr and Lee Peart are cooling off with a refreshing Prime Meridian.

The pair discuss a recent theatre trip to see Liberace and Liza, while Lee reveals he’s got the itch to head back to Edinburgh and perform again - but which very famous comedian once heckled him during a gig?

Elsewhere, Lee recounts a recent train journey that escalated into a row over a salmon and cream cheese bagel, while Alan’s been struck down with a brand-new ailment: “mincer’s hip”. Plus, the boys tackle an age-old dilemma - should mixing lemonade with wine be considered a criminal offence?

Wine expert Manny Does Wine (@mannydoeswine) joins the boys for a blind Malbec taste test. But can Alan and Lee tell the difference between a £12 bottle and one worth £80?

This week on Bottoms Up! Alan Carr and Lee Peart catch up over a bottle of Riesling as they reminisce about a very expensive tuk-tuk ride that ended in a drunken livestream - complete with red wine-stained teeth.

The pair recap a disappointing lunch with mutual friend Tom Allen, while Lee shares what he’s discovered since finally moving into his own flat… namely that the walls are VERY thin and absolutely everything can be heard.

Joining the boys this week is comedian Judi Love, who arrives with a bottle guaranteed to blow their socks off. She chats about her favourite wine, her brand-new stand-up tour and TV show Celebrity Sabotage. The trio discuss Notting Hill Carnival, Pum Pum shorts and Batty Riders, and Judi reveals why she’s officially a doctor.
