Bottoms Up! With Alan Carr and Lee Peart

Elton John has sent Alan and Lee a very special surprise…and it’s safe to say they’re thrilled.

This week on Bottoms Up! Tom Allen joins the boys to chat about his role in West End smash hit Titanique - the gloriously unhinged musical inspired by Titanic and powered by the songs of Celine Dion.

There’s a Titanic-inspired cocktail flowing as they debate their favourite Celine tracks - and Alan can’t resist performing a dramatic medley of her greatest hits.

Tom tells all about his brand new book Common Decency, they reminisce about the time Alan thought he’d accidentally killed him after one too many drinks, and Alan shares the unbelievable story of the time Elton John phoned his house when he was a child…

Plus, this week’s listener dilemma: what’s the perfect red wine for a murder mystery night?

Drinks featured in this episode are:

Punch a la Romaine Cocktails

Grant Burge South Australian Shiraz

Puglia Primitivo

Inverted Flamingo High Altitude Malbec
