Singer and showman Robbie Williams will be one of the guests on Graham Norton’s sofa, presumably talking about the upcoming biopic Better Man, in which he’s portrayed as a CGI chimp. No… that isn’t a typing error.

Better Man has received rave reviews since it was released, with a 93% score on aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes. One critic wrote: “A Robbie Williams biopic where he plays himself as a CGI monkey shouldn’t work, but director Michael Gracey defies all expectations.”

Robbie Williams will also be performing in the studio. 

He will be joined Bohemian Rhapsody and Oppenheimer star Rami Malek who will be talking about his West End appearance in Oedipus, at London’s Old Vic from 21 January. He is also set to be seen in historical drama Nuremberg, opposite Russell Crowe and Richard E Grant, next year.

Strictly Come Dancing judge Motsi Mabuse is another guest and will be giving the inside information about the Strictly live tour.

And comedian and former Doctor Who star John Bishop will be celebrating his 25 Years of Stand Up, which kicks off in October. 

More surprise guests are also expected.
