Alan Carr will host a two-and-a-half-hour Channel 4 special to be broadcast on New Year's Eve.



The Chatty Man star will welcome guests for sketches, games and musical performances in Alan Carr's New Year Specstacular.

Jonathan Ross, Micky Flanagan, Melanie Sykes, Gok Wan, Kirstie Allsopp, Alesha Dixon, Bruno Tonioli and Heston Blumenthal will be among those joining in, while JLS and The Ting Tings will provide live music.

Among the sketches confirmed are a spoof of The King's Speech, a Made In Chelsea parody featuring the show's cast, along with a number of skits featuring David Walliams - including one which sees Carr as Prince William and Walliams as Kate Middleton.

"I can think of no better person to leave Channel 4's New Year celebrations in the hands of than our very own Alan," Syeda Irtizaali, commissioning editor for entertainment at Channel 4, said. "Expect a raucous and funny party night packed full of celebrity guests, plenty of sketches and surprises and a wonderfully mischievous look back at the best of 2011."

Carr continues to host the seventh series of Chatty Man on Sunday nights at 10pm. His Spexy Beast Live tour DVD is out now.

Alan Carr's New Year Specstacular will broadcast December 31 from 9pm to 11.30pm on Channel 4.
