The Graham Norton Show: Who's on the red sofa tonight and what time does it start
Expect some Hollywood charm and Strictly razzle dazzleThe Graham Norton Show has a cracking line-up tonight – but who is on the red sofa?
If A-list Hollywood stars are what you fancy, Graham has got you covered.
He’s also ticked a box for Strictly Come Dancing fans with another of his guests.
And you can also expect another great live music performance in the studio, too.
So let’s get cracking – here’s who’s on The Graham Norton Show tonight.
The Graham Norton Show: Who’s on tonight
Graham welcomes Hollywood actress Margot Robbie into the studio tonight.
Barbie star Margo is joined on the show by her latest co-star, Jacob Elordi. The romantics among us will be counting down to the release of their new film, Emerald Fennell’s adaptation of Wuthering Heights.
But Margo is soon to reveal: “I wasn’t always going to be in it. I was thrilled to be the producer but at some point, we were talking about Cathy, and I decided to throw my hat into the ring. I’ve always wanted to be one of Emerald’s actors and fortunately, she felt the same way. It worked out wonderfully.”
Saltburn star Jacob reveals he was offered the part of Heathcliff over text. He casually admits his reply was simply, “Yeah”. Casual or what?!
Amanda Seyfried is also in the building. She’s in to talk about her epic historical drama The Testament of Ann Lee. Her role of Ann requires the American actress to adopt a Manchester accent. So how did she get on?
“Boy, it was tough!” Amanda admits to Graham. Margot, who found fame in Neighbours, also shares her experience of acting with an accent.
She laughs: “When I started on tv I had to have a dialect coach because I come from Queensland and I was thought too Australian for Neighbours! I couldn’t hear I had a bad accent, but they said, ‘You are just awful to listen to!'”
Graham grills Amanda about Mamma Mia 3. She tells him she will be [bleep-ed] if she isn’t invited back!
Strictly’s Johannes Radebe pops by
Strictly Come Dancing star Johannes Radebe is also welcomed onto The Graham Norton Show tonight.
Johannes is here to tell us all about his run in the West End stage show Kinky Boots. But Graham is desperate to know if he’ll be returning to Strictly later this year.
“I will do that show for as long as they will have me. It’s a magical sparkling world. I love it!” Johannes admits. Phew for all of us!
Speaking about Kinky Boots, he adds: “I feel like it was meant to be. I secretly told people for a long time that I would love to do it.
“The way it came was by luck and magic, but I turned it down the first time. But then I thought, ‘Give yourself this opportunity’ so, I got a singing and acting coach two years before I auditioned.”
Johannes is also asked by Graham about the upcoming film about his life. The adaptation of his book, JoJo: Finally Home, is still in the early stages but Johannes is excited.
He says: “It is in development stage, and I just read my first script which is lovely, but it takes such a long time.
“I am hoping not to play myself, but I might make a cameo appearance.”
Who else is on? What time does it start?
Graham’s musical guest tonight is Jacob Alon. The singer will be performing his track, Don’t Fall Asleep, live in the studio before heading over to join the others for a chat and a gossip.
Of course, you can also expect some audience participation with Graham’s red chair, too.
The Graham Norton Show is on BBC One and BBC iPlayer tonight (Friday February 6, 2026). It starts at 10.40pm with its usual end time of 11.30pm.
We love kicking off our Friday nights with Graham and his guests!
