When asked if he wanted them to use their strength in the passionate throws, Alan laughed: “They need a lot of me to throw around, they need a digger, a bucket or a winch.”

But despite his hopes of finding love, the TV personality admitted he wasn’t currently using dating sites: ‘How can I go on Grindr? I’m taking it easy at the moment. Do you really want this face to show up on a (dating) app?’.

He also went on to speak about his upcoming projects and revealed that his sitcom Changing Ends would return to ITV on April 16.

As well as a brand new series from the Italian Job with girlfriend Amanda Holden in which the duo will soon renovate a house in the sun to start filming.

Telling MailOnline: ‘(Me and Amanda are) flying out at the end of April – end of next month, and we’ve found a house and we’re going to do it up. I can not wait’.

Alan then admitted that despite his time in Italy he was still struggling to master the language: ‘It’s the third year now and I don’t know anything. All I know is pene, which means penis, so that comes in handy.”

He also said he hoped to one day see his chat show Chatty Man, which aired on Channel 4 between 2007 and 2019, return for a new series.

Gushing: ‘I look back at that show and see all the clips on TikTok – Kanye West, Mariah Carey, Amy Winehouse, Rihanna and Lady Gaga’s very first performance in Britain.’
