Alan Carr’s latest Spexy Beast tour is apparently so funny it causes pregnant women to go in labour.

During the second night of his new stand-up arena tour in Brighton last night, a woman was laughing so much her waters broke just before the interval.

Carr apparently had time to tweet about the event during the show: ‘An audience member has gone into labour during my Spexy Beast show!!!’ he wrote, ‘Pass me a hot towel and tongs I’m going in! Sending love to u and bump.’

He later added… ‘I can see the head - forceps!’ Eww.

Tessa, the expectant mother gave birth later that evening to a baby girl and said: ‘I had the baby at 12.30am last night and would’ve needed more than hot towels and forceps.

‘So annoyed we missed the show, hung on as long as I could but Alan would’ve had to been good at catching if I stayed. That man shouldn’t be so funny!’
