Miriam Margolyes never fails to deliver a showstopper moment, and her appearance on tonight's Graham Norton show certainly didn't disappoint. The comedian, 82, appeared on the show alongside Sarah Snook, Boy George, and Greta Lee.
Within the first minute of her appearance, she reacted to an unruly scarf with her iconic wit, saying "F**k this scarf!"
The conversation quickly turned to Boy George's stint on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here last year. When asked if she had also been asked to appear on the show, she reacted apparently disgusted by the idea: "Are you kidding? I'm not a w**re!"
A flummoxed Graham replied "No one is suggesting that, Miriam!"
Boy George then moved the conversation on to his time on the show, and when asked if he did it just for the money, he joked "Absolutely." He then went on to talk about the snakes he encountered in the jungle, to which Miriam piped up with whiplash timing: "Takes one to know one." The audience erupted with laughter.
Miriam then looked back on the time she famously swore on Radio 4 when confronted with Jeremy Hunt. She expressed her dismay at her own rudeness, saying "I was shocked. I was appalled at my own rudeness. Please forgive me audience of Radio 4. It really was upsetting."
The star also revealed she is looking to take the next step with her girlfriend of 54 years and move in together. Her book, Oh Miriam, is out now, which shows a less rude, more serious side to her. We'll believe it when we see it. Oh Miriam!
The Graham Norton Show airs every Friday night at 22:40 on BBC One.
