Comedian Alan Carr collapsed on-stage with a shooting pain in his leg.

He was performing his show at King's Theatre in Glasgow on Sunday night when he suffered what he called "the worst cramp ever".

Carr finished the show on a crutch handed to him onstage. in a social media post he could be seen rubbing down his leg with a bag of frozen peas. 

He said on Instagram: ""I've been performing up in Glasgow and there's a bit in my routine where I pretend to be Jason Statham and I high-kicked, and then I got the worst cramp ever. It was shooting pains and I was rolling around on the floor, and people thought it was part of the act. "I've never felt pain like it, but I will solider on as I always do."

The Epic Gameshow host is currently touring the UK with his first show following the break up of his marriage.

Things are not all bad though for the comic - a sitcom is being made based on his early life.
