Nicola told me that she managed to catch Richard’s appearance on Graham Norton last night. Here’s what she (and others) have to say on the matter:

“I did think for a brief moment that Graham was going to ask why Richard was so moody at the BAFTA’s when he asked “Was it a good night?”, but he didn’t. It was disappointing – when you think of what Graham is usually like – because I expected dirty questions, or a sex site search with Richard etc, but he did the fun stuff with the French footballer.

Richard should have been on first and for the longest time!! Never mind.

I dunno how many messages I left on Graham’s site to get Richard on there…it worked !!!! Hooray!!!!”

Anna adds:

“Yep! Well I caught a bit of it [sniff]! He looked his normal gaggingly-gorgeous-self and looked quite fashionable as he always does! I didn’t see the interview with him but the show will be repeated later on in the week so check your TV Times! He did alot of smiling which is brillient incomparison to his mood at the BAFTAs!”

And furthermore Kate adds:

“I dont know how many of us saw Richard on “So Graham Norton”, but he was absolutely luuuurvely (no surprise) ever the witty gentleman, and didnt he look fab in what he was wearing – cream jumper, denim jacket and combat trousers! I’ve taped it – one appearance worth keeping i think!” So there ya go!

Emma added that she too “noticed that he looked distracted” and that she didn’t think that he really wanted to be there and that he wasnt on there for long at all.

“I think he should have been on longer. He looked rather nice though. He wore casual clothes which is good because I prefer that in a way. Do you know what though? Just before he came on I hadn’t seen the first half and all I saw was Graham talking to Ginola, but then I had a sudden feeling that he was going to be on but I thought “No, he cant be?” and the next minute I saw him! There he was. I was in total shock.”.
