Graham Norton reveals the CRAZIEST celeb request on his show 💅
No way!
National Treasure Graham Norton joined Fleur East, James and Matt on Hits Radio to talk about his brand new book, Frankie, along with seeing Taylor Swift on her 'Eras Tour', and revealing the craziest thing a celeb has asked for while on his show.
As fans will know Graham presents The Graham Norton Show on BBC One. The show is hugely popular, running for a massive 31 seasons since 2007, and during that time he's welcomed guests such as Kate Winslet, Dua Lipa, Justin Timberlake, Jodie Comer, and Sofia Vergara.
When Matt asked him what the craziest thing a celeb has asked for on his show, Graham revealed, that one celeb had asked for a massive 10 dressing rooms, but that's not all as he explained.
"The maddest one we had. We had someone who will remain nameless, but they were a solo person, right? And they had nine dressing rooms! You know, for clothing options and then in the afternoon someone from their team came running into production office and went ‘it's a 911 situation’.
"Er, we need ANOTHER dressing room and so we're like, OK, and then Catherine, the production manager, is getting the new dressing room and while she was on hold, she kinda went, 'just out of interest, why do you need the 10th dressing room?' And they're like ‘ohh they want to charge their mobile phone'!"
While Graham won't reveal who it was, James said he had an idea. 👀
During the interview, Graham also revealed why he's a big Swiftie. The TV host went to see Taylor perform live in Dublin, as one of the singer's guests. Excited to be attending in the celeb tent, he thought he might rub shoulders with the likes of U2's Bono, or Enya?!, but in reality it was just him in the celeb tent!
However, he didn't mind, as he revealed Taylor looks after her guests. "I do love Taylor Swift. I love her because as a person, I really think she's great," Graham explained.
"We went to Dublin and we've kind of arranged the tickets through her people. So we knew there was a kind of VIP tent. So we're like, I wonder if we'll be in the tent anyway, we're being led and there's the tent."
He continued: "Can I just say, above and beyond. Yes, she provided some drinks, but they were like, really nice drinks, like really kind of high end brand, you know, liquor and all that? It was just... it was fabulous. Now, Taylor, she treats her guests well."
