Alan Carr has revealed he has begun work on a new TV series with ITV -  just days after he lost out on being a judge on the network's talent show Britain’s Got Talent.

The comedian, 46, was reportedly 'devastated' at losing out on the job, which ended up going to Bruno Tonioli after Simon Cowell overruled ITV bosses. 

Alan will be playing himself in the series, called Changing Ends, which is based on his experience growing up as the son of a fourth division football manager in 1980’s Northampton.

The six-episode show will initially debut on ITV’s new streaming platform ITX, according to the Sun.
