Chatting with presenters Charlotte Hawkins and Adil Ray, the Chatty Man star explained how he found his tour therapeutic as his split from Paul was understandably still quite raw.
Dates from his tour had been postponed from 2021 because of the coronavirus pandemic and resumed last year with Alan re-writing his material following the breakup.
Speaking about his Regional Trinket tour, he said: ‘This show had to be rescheduled because of Covid; I just really didn’t want to cancel. My marriage broke down in lockdown. No, it’s fine – people’s head tilt when you’ve got bad news.’
As Charlotte apologised for her reaction to him mentioning his marriage split, he assured her he was comfortable carrying on with the topic and added: ‘I wrote the tour and then it just didn’t make sense when I came out of lockdown because the marriage had broken down.
‘I was writing fresh and on the go, so it’s very personal and very raw, but it’s going down well.’
However, he found being on stage quite ‘therapeutic’.
‘It does make it therapeutic. There were people that were like, oh are you going to cancel the tour? and I was like, no I need it. I get the impression people just want to laugh and I do see it as therapy and just get on with it,’ he admitted.
