Jimmy Carr's staggering earnings revealed after TV deals and huge comedy tour
Jimmy Carr 's whopping earnings have been revealed after the comedian had signed on to a long list of TV deals and embarked on a huge tour, as The 8 Out Of 10 Cats presenter has raked in almost £5million.
The 52-year-old had hosted shows including Battle In The Box and Last One Laughing with his stand-up comedy tour continuing for the rest of the year and he is also set to take the show to Australia.
Due to his high success over recent years, Companies House have revealed that his firm, R & I Futures Ltd made £4.8million in the year to September 2024. The company was set up by Jimmy two years ago, and accounts have reportedly revealed that the company is earning close to £100,000 per week.
The Amazon Prime Video series Last One Laughing saw 10 comedians try to make each other laugh while trying to keep a straight face. The show, which featured Daisy May Cooper, Joe Lycett and Richard Ayoade, had gained huge praise from fans, with many fans labelling it 'the funniest show ever'.
The hilarious show was shown across six episodes, and fans were delighted to learn that another series of the show had been confirmed. Announcing the news, Jimmy told his followers: 'I'm absolutely delighted that Last One Laughing is coming back for a second series.
He added: 'I'm so pleased people had as much fun watching the first season as we had making it. Can't wait to bask in the reflected glory of the next 10 comedy legends taking on the challenge.'
Jimmy is also preparing to head to the land down under in February, where he will kick off his Jimmy Car: Laughs Funny Tour and will be performing a whopping 21 dates.
It follows after Jimmy was seen getting emotional after he received a heartfelt message from a fan at one of his shows. A fan thanked Jimmy during his gig for saving his life during a difficult time when he was battling depression and suicidal thoughts.
Jimmy read the tear-jerking message aloud, which read: 'In 2020 I tried to take my own life and didn't see a way out of my depression. Your shows on Netflix and clips on social media gave me something to laugh about when all I saw was darkness.
"I've been out of hospital for 2 years now and finally get to see you live with my wonderful partner, Hannah. Thanks for being the light in the dark Jimmy.'
Jimmy held back tears as he thanked the sender, as someone in the crowd shouted 'gay', which generated a laugh from both Jimmy and the crowd.

Emily Ratajkowski wows in very cheeky bikini as she dines on fries and beer on boat trip
Emily Ratajkowski showed off her supermodel figure in a swimsuit as she indulged at the beach in Positano, Italy this week. The star, 34, who settled her divorce from Sebastian Bear-McClard this year, flashed her posterior in the plunging thong one-piece as she relaxed at sea with her son, Sylvester, four. Ratajkowski revealed her honed legs in the skimpy swimsuit, which she paired with sunglasses and gold jewelry. She was seen enjoying some fries and a few cans of beer as she whiled away the afternoon. The beauty — whose ex-boyfriend Pete Davidson is expecting a child — recently joined hosts Jenna Bush Hager and guest co-host Willie Geist to talk about her role in the new Netflix show Too Much. At one point, Emily was questioned if it was true that she has been 'deprioritizing' men in her life. The star, 34, who settled her divorce from Sebastian Bear-McClard this year , flashed her posterior in the plunging thong one-piece as she relaxed at sea with her son, Sylvester, four The model was married to Bear-McClard from 2018 until their divorce in 2022. The former couple had split amid accusations that he was a 'serial cheater.' 'Well, the kids say decentering,' Emily joked, and elaborated to the Today hosts that it was true. 'I am a single mom and I just really, I think as I've gotten older I started to really value community with other women particularly. And that's definitely a priority for me.' She added, 'I think it's one of the best parts about living in New York as I get to meet so many amazing women and queer people. And yeah, I really value community these days.' Following her split from her husband, Emily seemingly came out as bisexual in October 2022 after posting a TikTok clip. The media personality reacted to a video that asked those who 'identify as bisexual' if they 'own a green velvet couch.' In the reel, the star could be seen lounging on a sofa and then panned the camera to show off her green velvet couch. EmRat showed off her toned frame in the skimpy ensemble The star was seen sipping on beer during the day The model was previously married to Sebastian Bear-McClard from 2018 until their divorce in 2022 The following month, she expressed to Harper's Bazaar: 'I think sexuality is on a sliding scale. 'I don't really believe in straight people.' Emily later said, 'I want to be able to have fun with how I present myself in the world without feeling like I'm a bad feminist or a good feminist.

We tried over 40 canned cocktails and mocktails – here's what's worth your money
Whether you're looking for an easy pour at the end of a long day or a good portable option for train rides, parties and picnics, canned cocktails have never been more popular. Most supermarkets now carry a wide range, though M&S has the most interesting, with options ranging from a sake spritz to a smoky pineapple daiquiri. For context, M&S has a quarter of the market share, which is enormous considering they have just four per cent of the overall grocery market. Clearly, its R&D team is having a lot of fun. Beyond own-labels, one of the best-known high-quality brands is Moth, which prides itself on using named spirit brands in its drinks, a welcome step up from the generic alcohol used in some options. Moth branding is recognisable: small (usually 125ml) cans with a textured black panel on the label. And it is much-imitated. But did the dupes come up to scratch? Read on to find out. How I tasted I tasted the cocktails in groups so all the versions of the same drink could be directly compared. Larger groups were tasted in ascending order of alcoholic strength, to be fair to the drinks with a lower abv, which were usually also the cheaper ones. Drinks with a similar abv were tasted blind against each other, the better to assess the dupes. For each group I then went back and retested to cross-compare products. Final notes were written sighted to allow inclusion of information about ingredients and packaging. Skip to: Margaritas Spicy Margaritas Piña Colada Strawberry Daiquiris Passion Fruit Martinis Paloma Bloody Mary Flavoured Daiquiri Negroni Mojito Low and no Others Margaritas The classic margarita is a short, sharp drink made by shaking tequila, triple sec and lime juice with ice and straining into a salt-rimmed glass. Some of the cans tested were, strictly speaking, Tommy's Margarita, where the triple sec is replaced with agave nectar.

Jonathan Van Ness shows off incredible body transformation after the 'hardest time'
Netflix star Jonathan Van Ness has debuted his impressive body transformation as he revealed how he has lost almost five stone on his health and fitness journey Queer Eye star Jonathan Van Ness revealed his dramatic body transformation as he came through his "toughest time". The hairstylist, 38, celebrated his impressive weight loss journey and shared what he had learnt. He shared before and after clips of him working on his fitness by playing padel ball, running and gymnastics. Earlier this year, Jonathan shared how he dropped a massive 66 pounds (4.7 stone). In his latest clip, the Netflix star donned a pair of black trunks as he took a selfie in the mirror. Jonathan captioned his post: "POV you made it through your hardest time and came out stronger for it." It comes after photos show Holly Willoughby letting her hair down in white swimsuit on sun soaked holiday. He then shared short clips of him running in a black vest before cutting to a shot of him topless with a toned stomach. Jonathan did an impressive backflip as he showed off his new strength. "The last few years have taught me so much. Loss, grief, endings, transitions, and mental health challenges, I hope my journey can help you in yours," Jonathan shared alongside his post. Jonathan was flooded with supportive comments from his followers as they left strings of fire emojis under his post. One fan said: "Love this for you!" Another added: "Proud of you!" Someone else commented: "Stronger and more fabulous the strongest steel is forged in." A fourth wrote: "You were always gorgeous and strong. But you seem happier now and that's the only thing that matters." Back in February, Jonathan put two photos next to each other, both showing him wearing just a pair of black boxers. The photo, from the popular app MyFitnessPal, showed Jonathan looking much slimmer in the 'after' shot. He showed off visible muscles on his stomach and proudly flexed his biceps. 'Lost 66 pounds!," Jonathan celebrated alongside the photos. He also revealed that a variety of methods had helped him on his fitness journey. 'I want to note, glp-1s have been a huge help,' he revealed. GLP-1 is a class of medications used to treat type 2 diabetes and obesity. The star added: 'I have also made major other changes. First was my diet obvs, second was way less alcohol, and finally group pilates which has been most pivotal. "My mental health and overall feeling is a different universe since last year and the biggest change was group fitness. Overall though, I'm so proud of myself and want to share. Take what works for you & leave the rest.' Big Mouth star Jonathan has been open about his weight loss journey for years, admitting that he struggled with an eating disorder which was responsible for his frequent size changes. In 2022, he revealed: 'Always been a hot and sexy sl*t but have also been struggling with binge eating disorder at the same time for a very long time. 'In April after years of feeling out of control with food I got help. It's been interesting because I now prioritise making time to eat, planning to eat and actually eating. "It used to be my lowest priority which would make me so hungry that when I would eat, I would binge. This has been and continues to be a healing journey I'm grateful to be on.'
