Graham Norton is one of the best known presenters on British television and joined the BBC in 2004 bringing with him his own unique blend of humour.
A regular face on BBC One, he has hosted some of the channel's most successful entertainment shows, from Strictly Dance Fever, where he got the nation's feet tapping, to How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria? and Any Dream Will Do, where the nation chose two new leading musical stars for the West End stage.

He began his career playing one man shows at the Edinburgh Festival (1992-97), most of which played residencies in London and toured throughout the UK. His 1997 show was nominated for a Perrier Award, bringing him plenty of attention.
