Alan Carr stars as himself in ITV's Changing Ends, with Shaun Dooley playing his dad Graham.
Mr Dooley said: "Alan's grown up in that environment where when you're in public, you're on show in that sense."
Mr Dooley met Graham and his wife Christine, Alan's mum who is played by Nancy Sullivan in the series, and said he was a "nice guy" who gave him "full permission to play him [in the series]".Alan Carr was born in Weymouth, Dorset, in 1976, but spent most of his youth in Northampton. The six-part autobiographical comedy is described as a love letter to the town and shares Carr's journey through puberty, adolescence and self-discovery at a time when society was less inclusive.
