A Graham Norton Show star has pulled out of their appearance at the last minute.

An upcoming episode of the show, scheduled to air next Friday (November 7) at 10.40pm on BBC One, is set to feature some of the biggest names in acting, comedy and music.

However, one star will be noticeably absent from the iconic red sofa. Oscar-nominated actor Colman Domingo has withdrawn from his appearance, with the BBC yet to disclose the reason for the line-up alteration.

Joining Graham on his sofa will be Hollywood actor Glen Powell, who is featuring in the dystopian action thriller The Running Man. Emmy-winning Brit Rosamund Pike will also discuss her role in the crime caper sequel Now You See Me: Now You Don’t, reports the Express.

They will be accompanied by popular comedian Jack Whitehall, who is promoting his new thriller series Malice, as well as music superstar Ed Sheeran. Ed will be chatting on the sofa, as well as performing his new single Camera from his current album Play.

This isn’t the first line-up change this series, as Sex Education star Aimee Lou Wood notably pulled out of the first episode last month, with James Norton stepping in to replace her.

Aimee is scheduled to appear on the show this week (October 31) instead, where she will reflect on her role in the BBC comedy series Daddy Issues.

She will be accompanied by Oscar nominee Keira Knightley, who has recently turned her hand to children’s writing, alongside female education campaigner Malala Yousafzai and last year’s Strictly Come Dancing champion Chris McCausland.

Musical entertainment will come from Mumford & Sons alongside Hozier, who will deliver their latest track Rubber Band Man.

The Graham Norton Show has already featured numerous A-list celebrities on the famous red sofa this series, including Taylor Swift, Rachel Zegler, Julia Roberts, Bruce Springsteen and Kim Kardashian.

During her appearance last week, reality television personality Kim disclosed her plans for a dramatic career transformation within the next decade.

“I always want to be growing, curious and evolving, and I want to see wherever that takes me,” she explained whilst discussing her passion for legal studies.

“I will be qualified in two weeks. I hope to practise law. Maybe in 10 years, I think I’ll give up being Kim K and be a trial lawyer. That’s what I really want.”
