Alan Carr’s husband is set for crucial surgery, where he will have two holes drilled into his head to prevent a potentially fatal blood clot.
Paul Drayton and Carr have had a relatively private marriage, however, it is widely reported that Drayton has battled alcoholism for part of his life, with his struggle still ongoing.
Paul is currently awaiting sentencing in January following a drink-driving incident.
Despite Paul’s battles, in his book Alanatomy, Carr described Dayton as: “the best thing that ever happened to me.”
In August Carr took to Instagram and posted: “While I was away filming on location the past few weeks, Paul fell off the wagon and started drinking again.
“When I arrived back home from Wales, Paul was covered in scratches and bruises from a drinking binge.
“We are now working together to get the help he needs to get better which is our number one priority right now.”

Alan Carr and party planner Paul Drayton are believed to have been together for 10 years before they got married, however, they got engaged in 2016.
Carr is thought to have gone to many lengths to be there for Paul as he battles the booze and has made jokes about it in the past.
During a London gig in 2018, he said: “He’s been sober for 161 days. I haven’t had a drink during this time either… or a smile.”

Carr’s close friendship with national treasure Adele is well known, with he and Drayton’s wedding being officiated by the chart-topper.
It is believed she even organised and paid for the romantic event. Speaking on the One Show Carr said: “We’ve known her for ages, and when we told her we were getting married she said, ‘Can I please plan the whole day for you?’
“She did it all at her house. So, we got in there, and there is a grand piano with a man playing Ordinary People.
“Then she sang with our first dance, it was absolutely amazing. I can never repay her, she’s a one-off as we all know.”
Carr recently made an impromptu appearance at the star-studded An Audience With Adele, when he filled the stage as she went off to recompose after a tearful interaction with a former teacher.
