    This week on Bottoms Up! Alan and Lee kick things off with a decadent, bubblegum-flavoured vodka. But will Alan be able to stomach a drink that reminds him of supermarket own-brand bubble bath?

    Elsewhere, Lee is feeling smug after being mistaken for straight - and is thrilled to receive a complaint accusing him of pretending to be gay on stage, whilst Alan is left baffled by the term ‘pencil’ when it comes to booking out his diary.

    Olivier Award-winning West End and Broadway star Layton Williams (@laytonwilliams) joins the boys for a drink to talk all things Titanique, Billy Elliot and his brand-new one-man show, Layton Live.

    Over some very dirty martinis, Layton spills the tea on winning awards, making his Broadway debut, theatre-going etiquette, dealing with people asking for free tickets, the new series of Strictly Come Dancing and performing for one of his all-time idols: RuPaul.

    Layton Live kicks off in February 2027. Tickets are available at laytonlive.co.uk.

    This week on Bottoms Up! Alan and Lee kick things off with a red wine and cola cocktail, but Alan is dubious. Will this unlikely concoction work, or will it be another culinary disaster on the scale of his infamous chicken tikka lasagne?

    Elsewhere, Lee's raging about the sugar tax and the ever-shrinking size of his favourite chocolate bars, while Alan reveals how he entertained himself as a student without a TV… with a little help from the Argos catalogue.

    The boys discuss Alan's time on the new series of The Masked Singer, baffling supermarket slogans, and the burning question: how exactly did Alan end up posting a stool sample through the door of a travel agent?!

    Plus, Cheese & Wine Expert Jessica Summer (@mouseandgrape) joins the boys with a selection of delicious pairings. But which combination proves so emotional that it sees Lee breaking down in tears?

    This week on Bottoms Up! Alan and Lee are back at Vagabond Urban Winery, where they’re joined by Aleesha Hansel to explore wines that are good for the world.

    Lee is feeling nervous this week after announcing his first solo tour! What advice can Alan offer, and what happens when they’re both playing in the same city on the same night?! Catch Lee on tour from April - tickets available from leepeart.net/tour.

    Alan’s been reading a book about stocks and shares, and it’s left him clueless about some of life’s biggest questions – from finances and VAT to, most importantly, ITV’s The Chase. Can Lee explain the rules so Alan can finally relax and enjoy his favourite tea-time quiz show?

    Wine expert Aleesha (@aleeshahansel) has brought along a selection of wines with a feel-good factor - from canned wine and wine in cardboard bottles to a bottle you can actually post back once you’ve finished drinking it. But will any of them win the boys over?

    Laylo Canned Wine: French Rose & Spanish Malbec

    This week on Bottoms Up! Alan and Lee head to Vagabond Urban Winery in Surrey Quays to get stuck into some actual wine making - and things get very messy.

    Alan fills Lee in on the NTAs, where he picked up the Special Recognition Award, complete with a surprise musical tribute from Paloma Faith, Amanda Holden and… Kate Garraway.

    Over an Autumnal Aperol Spritz, Lee reveals the slightly clichéd voiceover roles he’s always being booked for, Alan recalls the time a Ouija board accidentally outed him, and Lee tells the story of visiting a particularly aggressive clairvoyant after a brutal break-up.

    Drag and wine duo Beth Brickenden and Vanity Von Glow join the boys for some serious wine tasting… and some decidedly less serious wine making, as Alan and Lee get elbow-deep in fermenting grapes and discover exactly what goes on inside an urban winery.

    Vagabond Urban Winery English Bacchus
    Boschendal Sauvignon Blanc

    This week on Bottoms Up! Alan and Lee take on a series of drinking games, from ‘Lady Gargle’ to ‘Naked Attraction: The Wine Edition’ and ‘The Secret Sommelier’. But can they really tell the difference between a £22 bottle of wine and one costing just £6?

    Elsewhere, the boys reminisce about their childhood crushes. Alan reveals he was once enamoured with the Jack of Clubs on a lonely day in Northampton, while Lee had a thing for Hercules… but only once he’d beefed up.

    And in showbiz news, Alan is about to become a movie star, starring alongside Rita Ora in a new animated film. He plays a lyrically challenged royal scribe and narrator - but can Lee give him some singing tips?

    This week on Bottoms Up! Alan and Lee are joined by Big Brother and Strictly star Will Best - and he’s brought his very own range of Bloody Marys along with him for the boys to try.

    But can Will win over Alan with them or is he about to be evicted from the Bottoms Up! drinks table?

    Will reveals his love for the tomato juice cocktail, why he decided to create his own canned version and how he - thankfully - avoided botulism…

    Elsewhere, Lee’s got another game up his sleeve with ‘What The Bloody Hell Is In This?’, Will gives the boys the latest goss from the Big Brother house and Alan shares about the time he spent the day inside it and discovered some rather questionable stains around the place.

    This week on Bottoms Up! Alan and Lee go head to head with their biggest nemesis… orange wine! Will the boys FINALLY find one they don’t want to pour straight down the sink? They’re joined by wine expert Charles Cornelius from Barks Wine in Sheffield, and he's asking them to give it one more chance.

    Charles also shares some advice on the ideal date drink and tries to convince us that English sparkling wine goes perfectly with a pork bap (thanks to Rogue Sarnies for these DELICIOUS sandwiches).

    It’s Cocktail Time as Carmen takes the boys through the Five D’s of making the perfect martini: Drink, Dry, Dirty, Dilute, and Dress - but things go awry in classic Bottoms Up! style when Lee chokes on his pickled onion and Alan dribbles brine down his shirt.

    This week on Bottoms Up!, Alan and Lee are joined by TV icon Holly Willoughby for a glass of wine, a gossip and plenty of laughs.

    Holly opens up about life after daytime TV, her exciting new project Together, and why she wants everyone to feel like they’ve got a seat at the table. She also reveals what happened when she swapped early mornings for a slower pace of life - and whether a slot on Strictly could ever be on the cards. 

    Along the way, the trio sip - and sample - tequila, Holly mixes the perfect vodka martini she was taught to make by the one and only Stanley Tucci, and Alan, Lee and Holly go head-to-head in a game...

    Elsewhere, Alan reveals how he accidentally went viral at a gay day rave after "just popping in after work”, and Holly admits just how lazy she became after stepping away from daytime TV.

    Plus, Holly and Alan face off in Surprise SurPRICE, a blind wine tasting to find out whose palate is premium - and whose belongs in the bargain bin.

    This week on Bottoms Up! Alan and Lee are back at The Gore Hotel, sipping their signature cocktail from the iconic Bar 190, where The Rolling Stones famously hosted some of their wildest parties.

    With a heatwave in full swing, the boys are heading to see short-shorts superstar Harry Styles. But just how short is too short? Long, short or downright slutty?

    After weeks of living under the same roof, Lee has finally moved out of Alan's house. Faced with an empty flat containing little more than a bed, can Alan help Lee figure out his interior design style? 

    Plus, wine writer Sunny Hodge (@sunnyhodgewine) joins the boys to chat about his book, The Cynic's Guide to Wine. He explains why wine doesn’t actually taste like grapes and introduces Alan and Lee to bottles from China, the Czech Republic and Georgia, proving there’s a whole world of wine beyond the supermarket shelf.

    Drinks featured: 

    The Clover Club - Bar 190's Signature Cocktail 

    Punk Pet Nat - a biodynamic, sparkling Solaris from the Czech Republic

    Dove White - a blend of Italoriesling from China

    Rachuli Mtsvane - an orange wine from Georgia

    This week on Bottoms Up! Alan and Lee are joined by comedian, podcaster and soon-to-be Celebrity Traitors star Joanne McNally.

    Joanne shares her love of wine with the boys, from her unapologetically cheap palate and wine-inspired stand-up tours to her ambition to launch her own wine range... infused with collagen.

    Recorded at The Gore in South Kensington – home to the iconic Judy Garland Suite, complete with ruby slippers – the trio enjoy one of London's finest afternoon teas, perfectly paired with English sparkling wine.

    Along the way they chat Negronis, stand-up comedy, world tours, podcasting, breaking records, BuzzBallz, the dark web, and Joanne's upcoming appearance on The Celebrity Traitors.

    With Wimbledon wrapped up, Alan Carr and Lee Peart celebrate with a Pimms and discuss their love - or lack thereof - for tennis. Is it just a poor man's Swingball..?

    Lee shares his recipe for a Turbo Pimms, while Alan reveals his infamous Power Shandy – the concoction that ended with him vomiting into a load of freshly washed clothes… which promptly had to go straight back in the machine.

    Elsewhere, the boys compare zodiac signs to see if they're astrologically compatible, Lee gets emotional over a Nescafé advert from yesteryear, and Alan reveals the questionable combination he recently discovered: red wine and Skittles.

    Plus, wine communicator Katie Lawton joins the boys to settle an important debate: which gives you more bang for your buck – cava or prosecco?

    Drinks featured: 

    Classic Pimms Cocktail
    Journey's End Sir Lowry Cabernet Sauvignon

    This week on Bottoms Up! Alan Carr and Lee Peart head to Wine School at the WSET School, where they're put to the test to find out whether they've actually learned anything so far...

    Elsewhere, Lee's still living with Alan, and they're still fighting over the recycling. Lee's also been using Alan's posh candles, while some late-night smoke alarm drama has left them both exhausted.

    With the boys back at school, the pair reminisce about their own school days – from Alan befriending the dinner ladies, Lee getting a bit too familiar with his teachers and both revealing their first crushes.

    Then, wine expert and teacher Shane Jones shows the boys how to taste wine properly, including the all-important slurping technique, before introducing them to something they've never encountered before... a spittoon.

    Plus wine expert and author of The Alcorithm Rob Buckhaven joins the boys for a gadget special, sharing tips and hacks to keep the wine flowing (with mixed results). It’s fair to say Lee’s a fan of gadgets, but Alan is not quite so easily impressed..!

    Lee had an unexpected guest show up at his stand-up gig, sparking a trip down memory lane as the pair revisit their festival days - featuring Alan going head-to-head with Kings of Leon, and Lee battling… the British weather.

    The boys discuss the mundane everyday tasks that turn them on, with Alan revealing he has a thing for loading the dishwasher and Lee enjoying his tax return. But why does Lee get triggered when it comes to the washing up?

    Plus, The Wine Wally joins for a blind tasting “bottle battle,” putting the boys’ wine knowledge to the test. He also talks about his new book, The Wine Wally: A Shelf-Hacking Guide to Buying Better Bottles, out October 1 and available to pre-order now.

    Lee’s been busy hitting not one, but two red carpets, rubbing shoulders with the A-list - but which guest at the Kinky Boots Gala has he got serious beef with? With Alan also up for two BAFTAs, the boys dive into red carpet etiquette, dodgy photos, and what it’s really like facing the paps.
