Alan’s ruff divorce

FOR most couples going through a divorce, the welfare of their children is the top priority. But for Alan Carr, 45, and his estranged husband Paul Drayton, it’s the dozens of animals on the Kent farm they once shared.

I hear Paul, 50, has been returning there to help look after their dogs, goats, sheep, alpacas and peacocks. Alan, left with one of their dogs, and Paul split in January after three years of marriage. Paul, who spent two nights in jail after being convicted of drink-driving earlier this year, is staying in a friend’s spare room while the pair finalise their divorce, a source tells me. ‘But he’s back at the marital home most days for the animals.’
