The Graham Norton Show is known for its hilarious and unexpected conversations, and a recent episode featuring Olivia Colman and Lady Anne Glenconner did not disappoint. The two celebrities shared an entertaining story that left Colman shocked and the audience in stitches.
Lady Anne Glenconner, the author of an intriguing memoir, discussed her book and the misconceptions people had about its contents. “When I wrote this book, people thought it would be a little lavender-scented memoir,” she said. “But Freddie [her husband] is not going to feature in that way.”
But as the conversation unfolded, Lady Glenconner revealed an outrageous honeymoon story that had everyone on the edge of their seats. She recalled her fantastic wedding, which was attended by notable guests and boasted a lavish three-tent setup and not one, but three wedding cakes. The distinguished Tony Snowden even captured her wedding photographs.
Lady Glenconner then recounted the beginning of her honeymoon trip to Paris, which took a bizarre turn. Arriving late at night at the Lahti hotel, she and her husband went up to their room with high hopes for a passionate night. However, their dreams were quickly shattered when they encountered a shocking scene.
“There I was, having had this amazing wedding, wonderful wedding dress, and we were going to Paris for my honeymoon,” Lady Glenconner explained. “We arrived at the hotel, and on the bed were two really disgusting people making love.”
Unwilling to witness the uncanny sight, Lady Glenconner quickly averted her eyes and expressed her disapproval. The couple spent the next day exploring the city, visiting the Louvre and enjoying various activities. Little did she know what awaited her next.
Thinking her husband had a surprise in store for her, Lady Glenconner eagerly anticipated a fancy dinner at the Ritz. However, to her dismay, they did not head towards the renowned hotel but instead stopped at a seedy establishment called the Ida Scott.
Her heart sank as they entered a less-than-impressive room, complete with two wingback velvet seats. And to add to the overall strangeness of the situation, there were two individuals engaged in a passionate encounter on the bed.
Feeling uncomfortable, Lady Glenconner closed her eyes, trying to ignore the scene before her. She candidly admitted that she ripped the Ida Scott experience out of her memory and did her best to focus on other topics, not wanting to dwell on the strange turn of events that had unfolded during her honeymoon.
It was undoubtedly a shocking and unexpected tale, leaving Olivia Colman and the entire audience in awe. Lady Anne Glenconner‘s honesty and openness about her unique experiences made for a captivating segment on The Graham Norton Show.
The air date for this episode is yet to be confirmed, but be sure to tune in for this hilarious and jaw-dropping conversation between Olivia Colman and Lady Anne Glenconner on The Graham Norton Show.
