Just days into the New Year, comedian Alan Carr may have already delivered the most hilarious television moment of 2026. Forget dramatic reveals or shocking betrayals – this moment involved a waterslide, a rubber ring, and a spectacular tumble.
Carr, known for his quick wit on shows like “Celebrity Traitors,” found himself in a rather undignified situation while filming the new BBC series, “Amanda & Alan’s Greek Job.” The show follows Carr and Amanda Holden as they renovate a property in Greece, and a visit to a local waterpark proved to be unexpectedly eventful.
After some playful encouragement, Carr agreed to brave “The Black Hole” waterslide. He jokingly asked a lifeguard for a prayer before launching himself into the dark tube, a premonition that proved surprisingly accurate.
The laughter began almost immediately. Carr lost his balance, flipping head over heels and ejecting from the rubber ring with surprising force. He emerged from the tunnel in a chaotic splash, much to the amusement of his co-host, Amanda Holden.
“I tipped out! It tipped me out!” Carr exclaimed, clearly shaken but trying to maintain his composure. Holden quickly wrapped him in a towel as he vowed to avoid future slides, adding, “It flipped me up! I hit my face on the thing.”
Viewers watching the clip online were quick to share their amusement. Social media erupted with laughter, with many declaring it the “TV moment of the year” despite it being only January 5th. One user simply wrote, “I lost it. Couldn’t stop laughing.”
The comedic duo of Carr and Holden is clearly resonating with audiences. Many viewers praised their chemistry, calling them an “incredible” pairing and celebrating the lighthearted entertainment they provide.
This hilarious incident comes on the heels of Carr’s recent victory on “Celebrity Traitors,” further solidifying his status as a beloved figure in British television. While he was considered for a hosting role on “Strictly Come Dancing,” scheduling conflicts with a planned 90-date tour in 2027 ultimately prevented him from taking the job.
For those eager to witness the waterslide mishap firsthand, “Amanda & Alan’s Greek Job” is currently available for streaming.
