While interviewing David for his Life’s A Beach podcast, Alan said: “While you’re here, I’m going to be single very soon, have you got any male model friends who are down on their luck and chubby chasers?”
David replied: “I’m sure I could work something out.”
Alan and Paul announced in a joint statement in January they were calling quits on their three year marriage.
A statement released by Alan’s representative read: “After 13 years as a couple and three years of marriage, Alan Carr and Paul Drayton would like to announce they are separating.
“They have jointly and amicably made the difficult decision to divorce and go their separate ways. We request that their privacy is respected at this sensitive time.”
Drayton later shared his own post on Instagram telling fans he had “checked himself into rehab” to protect himself.
He explained it was “not an easy step to take” but was aware it “was the right one going forward” for himself and Alan.
Drayton added: “These last couple of years have been challenging to say the least, as they have been for so many others.
“I remain deeply committed to my journey of sobriety and strength. I thank you all for your kindness and support. Peace and love.”
Alan’s ex headed to rehab earlier in the year, saying he took “full accountability” for his actions when he drove his car while four times over the legal drink-drive limit last year.

He successfully won an appeal in January which meant he was released early after being sentenced to 14 weeks behind bars.
Paul was seen “swerving from one side of the road to the other” during school pick up time when he reversed into the police vehicle last year.
The party planner was “unsteady on his feet” and a breathalyser reading was “off the scale”.
He was arrested following the smash, which unfolded just three miles from the £2.7million pad he shared with comic Alan, 45.
Drayton was freed from prison after winning an appeal against his sentence.
His lawyer John Dye previously revealed he was “absolutely petrified” of going to prison and had suffered a “perfect storm” in his life.
He added: “The two nights in custody have been extremely difficult for someone who has poor mental health.”
After deliberating Judge Shani Barnes said Drayton had lived an “exemplary” life and should be given a chance to make amends.
Drayton received a 12-week prison sentence, suspended for 24 months.
