In a recent episode of the talk show ‘Alan Carr: Chatty Man‘, host Alan Carr welcomed guests Rod Stewart and Miles Kane. But before they arrived, there was another guest who stole the show – presenter Dawn O’Porter. The audience erupted in applause as she made her entrance.
As Alan offered Dawn a drink, she jokingly requested a whiskey. Unfortunately, there was none available, only vodka made from grain. Dawn comically remarked that people with wheat intolerance can’t eat vodka, but they can drink it.
The conversation quickly turned to Dawn’s recent marriage to actor Chris O’Dowd. Dawn revealed that she had yet to officially change her name to Dawn O’Dowd, but admitted that having two names was already causing confusion. She shared an amusing anecdote about booking hotels and using different names on her email and cards.
Alan, known for his playful banter, then brought up the time Chris appeared on Dawn’s show and gifted him a onesie with the boobs cut out and a strategically placed muff. Dawn confessed that she only recently threw it away after finding it in the back of her cupboard. Alan couldn’t resist jokingly suggesting that someone might buy it at a charity shop not knowing the Chatty Man logo was printed on it.
The conversation took a lighthearted turn when Alan mentioned that he had recently started following Dawn on Twitter. She admitted her addiction to the platform and confessed that she had to temporarily give up tweeting when she was on a book deadline. Dawn even resorted to violent means to regain access to her account.
As the interview continued, Alan congratulated Dawn on her pregnancy. Cheerfully, she wondered how long she could use her pregnancy card before people got bored. They then segued into discussing Dawn’s book, which is based on her teenage diaries. Dawn clarified that while the events in the book were not real, they were inspired by her teenage years.
The conversation turned to Dawn’s experiences, with Alan playfully asking if she was both a bully and a victim of bullying in school. Dawn admitted to being a bit of both at different times, relating to many people who have gone through similar experiences.
The topic took an unexpected twist when Alan brought up Dawn’s involvement in a documentary about lesbianism. Dawn revealed that she had kissed a girl when she was single and drunk, prompting laughter from the audience. Alan, always quick to add humor, joked about being a “raving lesbian” when he’s drunk.
The interview concluded with a discussion about Dawn’s upcoming project on Channel 4, where she explores the world of online dating. Dawn believes that the stigma surrounding it is fading, as more and more people find love online. She shared some humorous insights into the online dating scene, including the deceptive use of old photos and creative word choices to describe oneself.
As the interview wrapped up, Alan wished Dawn luck with her show, and the audience applauded with appreciation. Another entertaining segment on ‘Alan Carr: Chatty Man‘ concluded, leaving viewers eagerly anticipating the next episode.
