Scottish star Alan Cumming has revealed he's planning to move back to Britain after more than a quarter of a century living in America. The award-winning actor moved to New York in 1998 after starring in Cabaret on Broadway. He went on to have a glittering career in the States, where he was nominated for two Golden Globes and three Emmys for his starring role in the hit series The Good Wife.

In 2008 he even became an American citizen. But the 59 year-old now says he eventually wants to die in his home country after realizing that Americans don't share his values. Alan, who currently hosts the US version of the award-winning reality TV series The Traitors, said: 'My husband Grant and I are planning to split our time more between here and New York, rather than before we had a holiday home here.

'I've definitely been planning to do that just as a thing in my life, but also my work. 'I'm now doing The Traitors, so once a year I'm here for a month and I made two films here last year. It's almost like the universe is pulling me back.'. The award-winning actor moved to New York in 1998 after starring in Cabaret on Broadway.
