Bottoms Up! With Alan Carr and Lee Peart

This week on Bottoms Up! It’s a Martini Masterclass as Alan and Lee head to East London Gin Distillery 58 & Co. to meet Cocktail Carmen. The boys learn that there’s a Martini for everyone, but just how dirty do they like it?

Elsewhere, Alan’s been announced as a judge on the new series of The Masked Singer and hints at what’s to come, Lee’s torn a tendon trying to recycle a cardboard box and who has the higher score on WikiFeet?

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!, it’s an Italian special as the boys are joined by Strictly Glitterball Champion and newly crowned author Vito Coppola!

Vito chats about his brand-new book, Love Vito: My Story of Food, Family and Finding Home, as well as spilling the tea on the new series of Strictly.

After a Limoncello starter, Vito brings his favourite Italian aperitivo to share with the boys… but what will Alan make of it when he discovers it’s non-alcoholic?!

The trio discuss Strictly’s same-sex pairings and this year’s new line-up, Vito’s love of food, his Nonna’s secret recipes, what he really thinks of Greggs, and which Strictly dance he absolutely hates.

Plus, Lee has devised a game of ‘Strictly Come Drinking’, complete with judges’ scores and paddles. Which wine will take home the Glitterball… and which will be sent packing?

This week on Bottoms Up!, Lee’s treating Alan to a frozen Aperol Spritz in his brand new slushie machine to beat the heatwave. But what does Alan dunk in his to turn it into the worst thing he’s ever tasted?

Alan’s been trending thanks to an unfortunate lookalike with some questionable political views, the boys get the VIP treatment at Take That’s Circus Tour, and there’s big news… Bottoms Up! has been nominated for TWO British Podcast Awards! But will Alan and Lee even be sitting together on the big night?

Crisp Sommelier Neil Ridley (@ridleydrinks) joins the boys to prove there’s a perfect wine for every packet of crisps. English Sparkling Rosé and a Skip, anyone?

This week on Bottoms Up!, Alan and Lee are joined by fashion icon, pop star and all-round national treasure Frankie Bridge for our long-awaited fashion episode.

Alan hits the runway to showcase his favourite wine accessories and statement pieces - including a beach bag that doubles as a wine cooler and a bra that’s perfect for sneaking a drink into your favourite festival.

The trio taste a Côtes de Provence from a vineyard owned by Chanel, before pouring it from a very special decanter…

They chat fashion shows, hangovers, what’s hot this summer, Frankie’s shifts down The Sugar Hut and her former life as a pop star. And, of course, Lee asks the question that’s been on everyone’s lips… will The Saturdays ever reunite?

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.
