Alan Carr recalls time Paloma Faith gave him and dog food poisoning
Presenter Alan Carr has recalled getting food poisoning at a party and Adele’s dog then taking a “s***” on his floor.
Alan, 48, has teased that he was “nearly killed” by Paloma Faith, 43, after she served a lamb dish at his home once. He said that Adele, 36, and her dachshund Louie, 17, were also in attendance for the meal, which was “quite a while ago”.
He spoke about the incident with pal Paloma whilst a guest on the first episode of her Mad, Sad and Bad podcast, which was released on Tuesday. A clip was shared by the podcast’s Instagram account and the caption of the joint post with Paloma teased: “I gave @chattyman @adele and her dog food poisoning and will never live it down.”
At one point towards the end of the episode, Alan teased to the podcast host: “You keep mentioning food poisoning. Are we going to mention when you nearly killed me? […] And you nearly killed Adele’s dog.” Paloma said: “I know we make a joke of it but I did feel bad for ages about that.”
Alan went on to share: “Adele, her dog Louie and Paloma came round. Now, it was quite a while ago but I remember you saying ‘I’ll cook. I’ll cook us something lovely.” It was then stated that her chosen dish included lamb. Paloma said: “It was the lamb that gave everyone food poisoning. I know because I follow my gut and my gut said it was the lamb. […] After we’d eaten it, I knew.”
Her guest Alan continued: “So we’re sitting there and the first time my stomach’s going ‘ohhhh’. And then Adele’s dog Louie’s a sausage dog so then the dog had a bit of the lamb. And then I’ve never seen s*** come out so quick. It was a pfft. Like a brown skiddy. And that was an expensive rug.”
The comedian shared on the podcast that Adele encouraged him to get some kitchen roll, though he teased that it wasn’t to clean up the mess. He said: “Adele goes ‘no, no, no. Get some kitchen roll. Get some kitchen roll’.”
Alan continued: “So I run downstairs. I come over with the kitchen roll. Adele rips the kitchen roll off. I think she’s gonna scoop up the dog s*** but she rolled it up and put it up her nose cause of the smell.” Paloma teased: “We’re all so self-centred.”
The NHS states that food poisoning, “caused by eating something that has been contaminated with germs,” is “rarely serious” and “usually gets better within a week”. Symptoms can include nausea, diarrhoea and stomach cramps. It adds: “The most important thing is to have lots of fluids, such as water or squash, to avoid dehydration.”
