Exes reunite on Graham Norton’s couch this week

Old flames

Yes to this!

If you tried to do Dry January, it’s either almost over or already long gone for you, but the good news if you are avoiding going out on Friday night is that Graham Norton has a fairly decent lineup this week.

Liam Neeson will be on to chat about his new action film The Commuter, though we do hope he shares more of his thoughts on the #MeToo movement, a topic on which he’s been quite vocal lately.

Also joining Graham will be another Northern-Irishman, Jamie Dornan.

No need to tell you what he’ll be promoting – the third Fifty Shades film lands in cinemas next month, so expect plenty of banter there.

Rounding out the couch will be Dame Helen Mirren.

A real touch of class and national treasure, she’ll be on to talk about new movie Leisure Seeker.

Interestingly, Helen and Liam dated for a few years back in the eighties and even lived together for a while so hopefully there’s a bit of chemistry between the two.

The music will be provided by Sigrid, the 21-year old Norwegian singer and winner of the BBC Music Sound of 2018 award who will drop by to perform her song, ‘Strangers’.
