It is proving a particularly busy year for Alan Carr. After transforming a rundown townhouse into a boutique B&B alongside pal Amanda Holden for spin-off adventure Amanda & Alan's Spanish Job, hosting a sixth run of competition Interior Design Masters and enthralling millions of viewers with his treacherous antics on reality smash The Celebrity Traitors, the popular comedian is now bringing us a third series of his BBC1 quiz Alan Carr's Picture Slam.
