Graham Norton names and shames his worst-ever guest – and you might not be surprised who it is
GRAHAM Norton has lifted the lid of his worst ever guest - and he says he gives him 'chills in retrospect'.
Talk show host Graham, 59, has named and shamed ex Hollywood film director Harvey Weinstein as his least favourite interviewee.

Five years later, for the rape and sexual assault of two women.

Graham went on to reveal that Weinstein, 70, had initially emailed him "something very nice" before asking to appear on The Graham Norton Show.
The Irish star who, along with the world were unaware of his heinous crimes, told Weinstein he was fully booked on the day he wanted to appear, but the now-shamed director kept badgering him.
"And at the time, I thought that sort of attitude, that kind of, 'Oh no, I'm going on'...that is what makes you a very good producer," Graham said.
"But of course, now that we know what we know, that is what makes him a predator."
