Graham Norton has hosted a chat show for almost 30 years, hearing stories from the biggest stars in the world, but that hasn’t hampered his ability to be surprised by people.

The 63-year-old also relishes hearing shocking anecdotes from the audience members of his eponymous show, who try their luck at impressing him when they sit in the famous ‘Red Chair’, and now he’s seeking out more twists and tension with his new high-stakes reality series.
