The Graham Norton Show back for new series

‘The Graham Norton Show’ is set to return next month.
The popular Friday night chat show – which is heading into its 24th series – is set to return to TV screens on September 28 for a total of 19 episodes following a two-month hiatus.
Although the BBC haven’t confirmed which famous faces will be appearing on the show, viewers could see the likes of Lady Gaga, Tom Hardy, Eddie Redmayne and Jamie Norman alongside Graham Norton thanks to the release of movies such as ‘A Star Is Born’, ‘Venom’, ‘Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald’ and ‘Robin Hood’ over the autumn period.
Graham moved to the BBC from Channel 4 in 2005 and although the switch has been a huge success, he previously admitted that it had hindered his love life.
Indeed, the 55-year-old presenter revealed that he doesn’t use the dating app Grindr in his quest for love because of his employers.
Opening up on his reasons for snubbing the app, he revealed: "I couldn’t do Grindr because of what it is and because I work for the BBC.
"But I felt Tinder was socially acceptable, I could do Tinder, but no more."
Despite this, Graham spoke enthusiastically about looking for love and single life, and the importance of being optimistic.
He previously shared: "I’ve failed all my relationship exams, and yes, it’s a different life, but I’m still living.
"You’re far better off finding ways to enjoy the life you’re living than mourning the life you’re not, which is a double whammy of unhappiness."
