Everybody’s talking about: Graham Norton’s red chair story
Well, we’ve always wondered. Graham said it would have to be the time he reassured strangers that he didn’t have sex with his dog, after the pooch pooped out a condom in the park.
Norton said that a bit of ‘sex debris’ was left after he had a gentleman caller over, and Bailey, being a dog, decided to eat it:
So I had to get it out. Now, all I’ll say is no matter how stretchy you think they are, you’ve no idea! Honestly, I was halfway across the park with this thing. I mean, it’s morning time, mothers with their children going to school. I went, “No I did not have sex with my dog!”
