Alan Carr can no longer adopt the brace position on planes because of his man boobs.
The Chatty Man comedian piled on the pounds during the covid lockdowns and he’s struggled to shift them, which has resulted in some embarrassing moments on his trips abroad, caused by his swollen size.

“I can’t actually do the brace — because of my t**s. Is that good? Is that bad?”
Flight experts believe the brace position — where passengers lean forward, place their hands on their head and bend over — helps protect the body during an emergency landing and reduces the risk of head and neck injuries.

.Alan’s post-pandemic portliness hasn’t just made his flights riskier, the comedian said he was fat-shamed on a trip to Iceland where he’d booked his family into the luxury hotel, The Retreat, to celebrate brother Gary’s birthday.
He spilled: “I got fat-shamed believe it or not. Not in the hotel — outside. My brother is big-boned like me — bigger-boned.
They fat-shamed me and him.“I got scared on the glaciers, I said ‘Gary can I jump on the back of your snow plough?’ They said ‘Get off! Get off! Too heavy!’ How rude!”It wasn’t the first time Alan — whose new autobiographical sitcom, Changing Ends, has received rave reviews — had been insulted about his appearance.
