Comedian Alan Carr has said he is planning an antiques shopping trip to furnish his castle, joking that modern items such as a futon would not suit its turrets. The remarks highlight his intention to match the property’s historic character with more traditional interior design.

The article centres on Carr’s humorous comments about decorating the castle, rather than a major development involving the property. His planned purchases are expected to focus on antique furniture and fittings appropriate to its period features.
