Alan Carr's Eye Scare and Sitcom Success

Comedian Alan Carr, aged 48, has shared a harrowing health scare regarding his eyesight on his podcast Life's A Beach. Diagnosed with astigmatism, Carr was concerned about the pressure in his eyes, leading to a procedure at Moorfields Eye Hospital, where his eyeballs were drained to alleviate the pressure. The surreal treatment involved a spike being inserted into his anesthetised eye, causing Carr significant anxiety as losing his sight is his greatest fear. Despite the ordeal, Carr's health is stable, and he continues to enjoy success with his comedy series 'Changing Ends,' which has been renewed for additional seasons. The show, semi-autobiographical, reflects his life growing up in 1980s Northampton and has received critical acclaim.
