Music will be provided by Tom Odell, performing ‘When I Close My Eyes’ from his current album ‘A Wonderful Life (Epilogue)’.
This comes as the BBC recently confirmed a three-year deal with Graham and So Television to produce three more series of the popular show.
The last series averaged 2.9 million viewers per episode, maintaining its status as the market’s leading chat show. It continues to generate millions of global video views across platforms such as YouTube, TikTok, Facebook and Instagram.
The Graham Norton Show first aired on BBC Two in 2007, where it ran for two series before moving to BBC One, where it has remained a staple of the BBC’s Friday night schedule.
