Who is on The Jonathan Ross Show tonight?
On this week’s The Jonathan Ross Show, Jonathan is joined by singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran in his only UK TV interview. Discussing writing his latest album Subtract, Ed will be heard telling Jonathan: “I had a load of stuff happen at the beginning of last year.
“I made another album over the course of a decade, but then some stuff happened to me at the beginning of last year and I wrote this while that was happening and put the other one to the side. It’s kind of happened in a backwards way.”
Opening up about what was going on, Ed will explain: “I feel like, this is the one thing about having adult stuff happen to you, is you realise that everyone else is going through exactly the same thing and I didn’t really talk to anyone about it… You never know what’s going on with someone.”

Ed will also give an exclusive performance of new single Eyes Closed. Joining the show by video call from Australia is Oscar-winning actor Russell Crowe, who will discuss his new film The Pope’s Exorcist and respond to speculation he’s in talks for Gladiator 2.
He will tell Jonathan: “I think when they’re shooting in the colosseum and stuff, I’ll be lying like 6ft underground… you won’t see me, but I’ll be there beneath the ground.”
He will add: “I’ve had a couple of dinners with Ridley [Scott] since he embarked on this, we haven’t really talked about what he’s doing. But no, I’m not involved. Maximus has departed the world”
Musician-turned-actress Lily Allen joins Jonathan to discuss her new Sky series Dreamland, plus why she originally undertook the West End stage show 2:22 A Ghost Story. She will be heard saying: “I kind of took this job on because I was full of self-hatred at the time.
“[I was telling myself] ‘This will be a disaster, I’ll hate it, the reviews will be horrendous’ and I’ll be able to be like, ‘Yes you are a piece of s***’. But actually it was really brilliant and it sold out. I got an Olivier nomination!”
Lily will also reveal that she met her husband, Stranger Things star David Harbour, on celebrity dating app Raya. Lily says: “It was the first time I’d been on this dating app. I was scrolling through and landed on David’s profile and pressed accept. I didn’t know who he was.
“I thought he was just like a sexy policeman from a reality TV Show. He was wearing a policeman’s uniform. It was a still from Stranger Things. I’d never seen Stranger Things.”
Canadian singer Michael Bublé will also appear and will talk about his love for the UK, saying: “You’re my people. I get to be this, me. I don’t have to pretend. I don’t have to be careful or politically correct. You guys are amazing.”
Of other countries he loves to perform in, Michael will add: “I love Germany. I love the Germans. They’re hilarious. They’re funny people, they’re dry.”
Discussing fans who have his face tattooed on them, Michael will be heard saying: “It’s a good feeling, it’s kinda cool when someone wants to put you on their skin forever.” When asked who in the world of music he’d have tattooed on him, Michael will say: “Lewis Capaldi.”
Rounding off the line-up is comedian Desiree Burch, who will speak about her ambitions, saying: “I do have a Sky short coming out called Diane from Accounts. I’ll likely be touring in 2024. Right now, I’m at home with my man. I’m being in love and enjoying it.”
Summing up her voiceover on Netflix dating show Too Hot to Handle, she will say: “Beauty is a currency and these people are rich with it!” Desiree will also talk about being an ordained minister: “I’ve married five separate couples. Three of them are still together! The one that got divorced, I was so mad. Why didn’t you call me first?!”
The Jonathan Ross Show airs tonight at 9.40pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
