Miriam, Miriam, Miriam.

Possibly the most infamous guest that the show has ever had, Miriam Margoyles is a staple of the Graham Norton Show at this point. Renowned for her extreme and vile stories, Miriam’s greatest moment took place in 2016 when she shared the sofa with Matthew Perry and Gemma Arterton.

The guests ended up on the topic of being starstruck and Graham then prompted Miriam to talk about her experience with Sir Lawrence Olivier. Miriam starts out as calmly as ever with Miriam talking about how she met him at the stage door of the theatre for an autograph. This then takes a strange turn when Miriam says she distinctly remembers that when she met him, she started to “cream in her knickers”.

Gasps can be heard from the audience as Graham begins to crack up. However, what makes this story so hilarious is the reaction of Matthew Perry who completely dead pans and looks to camera in horror. His reaction makes Miriam’s story so memorable and hilarious. One of Miriam’s best.
