Comic to present a daily C4 show from Crufts

Alan Carr is to host a daytime show all about dogs to tie in with Crufts.

The Chatty Man star will be joined by Clare Balding, who fronts Channel 4’s coverage of the event, for the daily show, which starts on Wednesday March 7. 

The hour-long show, made by Mentorn, will come live from Crufts at the NEC Birmingham – and Channel 4 says it will ‘feature a range of four- and two-legged guests discussing everything there is to know about the world of dogs’.

In total, Channel 4 will produce 14 hours of coverage from the show, with additional live streaming online, using 20 cameras and more than 130 crew members across the main arena and two studios.

The rest of the presenting team comprises Peter Purves, Jessica Holmes, Frank Kane, Jim Rosenthal and Professor Noel Fitzpatrick.
