Norton soft on Arnie

THE new series of BBC1’s Graham Norton Show saw the host with a fake “beard”. Bit late for that, isn’t it?

His headline guest was mega movie star Arnold Schwarzenegger ( right), as well as Ronnie Corbett.

It was a shame they missed the chance to reprise the Two Ronnies, with Arnie volunteering to fill dead man’s shoes.

Or, as he would put it: “I’ll be Barker!”

Schwarzenegger has been dogged by claims that he is a serial groper, but Norton did not quiz him on that. He even let the actor make a little joke about it.

Hmmmm.... the BBC fails to tackle a big star about his allegedly wandering hands. Now why does that ring a bell?
