He's one of Britain's most beloved comedians.
Yet Alan Carr has revealed that before he found his place on the comedy circuit he was left traumatised by relentless bullying in childhood.
The Chatty Man host, 48,is set to open up about his upsetting past on Saturday when the second season of his 80s sitcom,Changing Ends,returns to ITV.
The British performer has previously opened up about his 'relentless' childhood bullying and how the mocking of his distinctive voice made him a target growing up.
But despite his shocking school experience,which left him feeling profoundly 'lonely',he is now ready to carry on sharing his distressing journey with his fans.
Ahead of his new season,MailOnline has looked back at his youth and how he struggled to find his place in life before 'comedy saved him'.
Despite his differences with his father (left),they remained close,and Alan previously insisted that both his parents are proud of him (pictured with his father,mother and his brother Gary in 1985)
Also speaking on the One Show,Alan said: 'It is all written and all ready to go out on Saturday.
'Basically it is about my life growing up in Northampton,the very butch boy,and my dad was this football manager of the town,very macho,its is basically Northampton's answer to the Crown.'
At least 450 child actors auditioned for the role of Alan but it was who was ultimately chosen when Alan himself got choked up watching his audition.
Alan's second season of Changing Ends returns on Saturday at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
