Alan, who also interviews Ellie Goulding this evening, and John get into a war of the drinks - with both men ending up completely soaked and covered in bar snacks. 


The on-screen fight begins when the pair talk about performing stand up at the 02 Arena; Alan jokes that, unlike Rihianna, he is unable to get the tube to Greenwich as it “shatters the


illusion”. 


John retorted, "What illusion," which Alan took mock offence to and told the comedian to get off his chat show.

John Cleese mocked Alan Carr at the beginning of the interview and threw peanuts at him [PR]


The 74-year-old comedian picks up a glass of water and throws it at show host Alan, soaking him through much to the audience's amusement. 


John then goes back to the drinks Globe and picks out a red bottle of Taboo, which makes Alan jump out of his chair and say: "Not the Taboo! I’ll never get red out."


The whole situation escalates to a point where John is eventually just throwing nuts and bar snacks at the host as he tries, in vain, to continue with his line of questioning. 


Enough was enough and Alan threw the bowl of bombay mix over John [PR]


Alan sternly told John: "You’re going to be wearing it [the bombay mix]  to you know!" 


Eventually enough was enough for host Alan who picked up the bowl of bar snacks and emptied it over John's head - and then does the same with a bottle of green liquor. 


Both men were absolutely soaked and the audience found it highly amusing. 


Earlier on the show, Alan also interviews Ellie Goulding who finally admits to her relationship with McFly member Dougie Poynter.
