Comedian Alan Carr has spoken of the surreal moment Elton John rang his childhood home to sign a football player, upon the release of the second series of his successful ITV sitcom.
Changing Ends details the life of Carr growing up as a "camp boy" in Northampton in the 1980s, while his father Graham goes through the highs and lows of managing the town's football club.
He recalled the moment the music superstar, when he was chairman of Watford, called his dad to enquire about signing Cobblers' midfielder Richard Hill due to his goalscoring success.
Hill's move 50 miles down the M1, however, ended up being short-lived, and he was transferred to Oxford after just a handful of games following a change of manager.
