Bottoms Up! With Alan Carr and Lee Peart

This week on Bottoms Up! comedian, author and national treasure Graham Norton joins the boys - bringing his very own wine with him. Graham reveals the origin story behind the bottle, and how he ended up quite literally on the label.

The boys chat live TV disasters, Graham’s stand-up career and Edinburgh Fringe days, plus his hit podcast Wanging On, Eurovision and his new ITV series The Neighbourhood. Graham also reveals whether he’d ever sign up for The Celebrity Traitors…

Plus, Graham helps settle a very important Eurovision wine dilemma for Marcus from Romford. Which bottle takes the crown - Romania, Moldova or Belgium?

New episodes of Wanging On drop every Monday. Catch Graham at the Edinburgh Fringe this August for its live debut, and watch The Neighbourhood on ITVX now.

This week on Bottoms Up! Alan’s been tagged in a mysterious photo of dog poo on social media - and the boys are on a mission to get to the bottom of it. Is this a case of mistaken identity, or has someone been slacking on their dog-walking duties..?

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.Drinks featured:
