Popular presenter and comedian Alan Carr has been spotted filming on the Kent coast.

The TV comic has spent time today in Margate's Old Town, where he was seen cruising in a red Ford Capri, ordering fish and chips and interacting with fans.

Photos taken by photographer Frank Leppard show smiling crowds gathered on the streets, to watch and take pictures.

Surrounded by film crews, Carr was also seen popping into Peter's Fish Factory on the town's seafront, where he is said to have ordered haddock and chips for lunch.

Mr Leppard described the comedian on Facebook as a "lovely chap", and told how he took the time to pose for selfies and speak to fans.

Carr is believed to be in Margate filming his BBC Two television series Interior Design Masters with Alan Carr.

The reality competition series sees 10 interior designers compete for the chance to win a commercial contract to design a bar at a London hotel.

A different challenge is set each week, seeing the contestants redesign spaces such as shops, salons and restaurants.

Carr is well-known as the host of former comedy chat show Alan Carr: Chatty Man.

He is also known for his stand-up comedy, for appearances on shows such as 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, and in 2019, he became a judge on RuPaul's Drag Race UK.
