When comic Alan Carr made a gag about Phillip Schofield's lack of work since his affair scandal, the audience at the Royal Variety Performance, the audience fell into hysterics. But ITV, the presenter's former employers and the network screening the event, cut the joke - perhaps fearing it would prompt him to start another row with them.

During the live show, recorded at the Royal Albert Hall on November 22, much loved hosts Carr and Amanda Holden were taking about how they’d relaxed throughout the day. Ms Holden had said she’d been juicing while it seemed Carr hadn’t eaten his dinner.

Then a Deliveroo driver appeared on the stage with around ten boxes of all pizza, prompting Carr - to tell the man to take them to his dressing room. As the Deliveroo driver left the stage Alan said: 'I can’t be too hard on him, I’m just pleased to see Phillip Scofield is back working again!'.
One audience member told the Mail: 'Alan was hilarious, it just rolled off of his tongue and the whole place was falling around laughing. 'The crowd were in fits of laughter, it perfectly timed and very, very funny. It is just so strange that ITV didn't include it in their final edit.'.
