Alan Carr has revealed his Chatty Man talk show has been AXED by Channel 4.

The telly favourite admits he struggled to pull in the viewers as he went up against rivals Graham Norton and Jonathan Ross, and he's now "moving on" after bosses pulled the plug.

According to The Sun newspaper , Chatty Man regularly picked up two million viewers - but it wasn't enough to beat Graham's popular BBC talk show, which reached 3.9 million.

"I just think that the art of the chat show has evolved unless you can get the amazing guests all the time that Norton gets," he told the publication.

"Three guests a week and Channel 4, God love 'em, extended it to 30 episodes — that's 90 guests who are relevant and people are interested in, up against the amazing Norton and Jonathan Ross."

He also admitted moving the show to a Thursday was not "not the best move" because it's a party show and should be aired on a Friday.

But he isn't bitter about the decision, adding: "I've gone as far as I can with Chatty Man. Won a BAFTA, won two NTAs."
