Everybody’s talking about: Graham Norton’s red chair story

Graham Norton opinion Jonathan Brady / PA Wire Jonathan Brady / PA Wire / PA Wire

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!”
