The Jonathan Ross Show lineup for February 14, 2026 / ITV
Alan Carr has revealed that he is planning to introduce wolves to the grounds of his new Scottish castle.
The TV presenter is giving up his existing home and buying a castle in its place as part of a new show for Disney+ called Castle Man.
The move was inspired last year by his winning turn on The Celebrity Traitors, which is filmed at the epic Ardross Castle in the Scottish Highlands.
“I’m having a midlife crisis,” Carr said on tonight’s edition of The Jonathan Ross Show. “I want a turret to call me own. I’m in my turret era.
“I fancy a move and I loved being in The Traitors castle, so I thought, ‘I’m going to get myself one’. You know when people have a midlife crisis that they get a ponytail or a Lamboughini… I want a castle. You know when you fancy something? I just want one.
“I’m 50 this year – I know I don’t look it – and I just want one.”
He continued: “I know it sounds very grand. I’m moving from where I am at the minute, I want animals there, I want a community thing.
“I’m lonely where I am. It’ll be nice, having people come there and have a cream tea. I want people to come in and have donkeys and stuff everywhere.
“The estate agent said, ‘Do you want some Highland cows?’ I said, ‘Yeah, stick them on.’
“I want to re-introduce wolves. If I’m a landowner I can re-introduce wolves. That’d be nice. Helps the ecosystem… I read somewhere… maybe I’ll have a think about that. I want it to be like a big old zoo, I love it.”
The Jonathan Ross Show airs tonight at 9.35pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
