Speaking about being asked for selfies while in a public bathroom, Niall will say: “That’s not even weird to me now.

Love Island host Maya Jama will also be on the show, where she will talk about joining ITV2’s hit dating show and confirm she will return for the next series. Of joining for the ninth series in South Africa, Maya will be heard saying: “I was so nervous. Obviously it’s a very big show, everyone watches it, everyone’s got an opinion and quite a lot of people online were like, ‘We want Maya to host’.
“So it felt a bit like, I don’t want to let anyone down. I don’t want it to be like, ‘You guys wanted me to do it and now I’m s***’. So I felt that pressure. And to get the slow-motion walk right…”
Dame Prue Leith will join the line-up, with the Great British Bake Off star discussing not going to the Palace when she became a Dame. She will explain: “I had a letter from the Palace that said, ‘We can’t give you your Damehood for four years because there’s a backlog.’
“I thought, ‘I haven’t got four years.’ They said, ‘Your local Lord Lieutenant can do it or you can have it by post.’ So I had the Lord Lieutenant come.
“She was all dressed up in smart uniform at my house, my daughter read the citation and it was lovely and we had a drink. No royals involved.”
Comedian James Acaster will also be on the show and will discuss rumours he’s being considered as a Bake Off host. He will be heard saying: “No-one’s spoken to me about it and rightly so. It was traumatic what happened to me in that tent.
“I’d be constantly having flashbacks and full meltdowns and I don’t think that’s very relaxing for the contestants. Prue can tell me if everyone’s still reeling from it in the tent, I hadn’t slept in 36 hours, I had jet lag.
“I had an absolute meltdown. I can’t remember most of the stuff that happened.”
He will add: “Listen, if they approach me to do it, I would string them along for as long as possible, get there on the day, say ‘Suck it’ and go home.”
Rounding off the star-studded line-up is comic and actor Tom Davis, who will explain being a labourer helped inspire his comedy, saying: “It was a life of meeting characters.”
He will add that Micky Flanagan was an inspiration: “Micky was up on stage talking about things I knew about, and I thought, ‘I might give this a try.’ I’d had enough of just sort of carrying stuff.
“I had no real expectation of where it’d lead me. It’s very surreal [sitting here now]. I’ve been a loser all my life, so I’ve no fear of failure.”
The Jonathan Ross Show airs tonight at 9.40pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
