Jonathan Ross Left Mortified As Kylie Minogue Responds To Embarrassing ‘Send To All’ Prank

The best thing about Michael McIntyre’s Big Show being back on our screens means we get a brand new instalment of “Send To All” each week, in which the comedian takes a celebrity’s phone and sends a prank message to every contact in.

On Saturday night, it was Jonathan Ross’ turn in the hot seat, with Michael teasing: “For decades, he has interviewed the biggest stars in the world and I can’t wait to get my hands on his star-studded phone book.”

He wasn’t wrong, either, with a number of A-listers sending some rather perplexing responses to Jonathan’s fake message.

But first, the message itself.

Using Jonathan’s phone, Michael sent out a mass text which read: “Hi Doc. Sorry for the late text but the rash is back. Jane says it smells like cabbage and I can barely sit down.

“If you can come round NOW I’ll give you any comic of your choosing.”

After a pause, the host came back to Jonathan’s phone, revealing Shane Richie had attempted as many as five concerned phone calls, while Harry Hill merely enquired: “Red or savoy cabbage?”

Another response read: “Hi Jonathan. I think you might have the wrong number… this is Greg Rusedski. Good luck with everything, though.”

However, the best moment of the segment came when it emerged that Kylie Minogue had replied to Jonathan’s message, causing the talk show host to plead: “Oh, not Kylie! Come on!”

“You should listen to doctor’s advice,” came the Can’t Get You Of My Head singer’s reply, before adding: “Out to the shed, now. I don’t need any comic that badly.”

“Maybe that’s some sort of Australian cure?” Jonathan offered.

Finally, Michael read out a reply from Julian Clary, who commented: “You’ve always smelled like cabbage. It’s nothing new. Try bleach in the bidet, works for me.”

Michael McIntyre’s Big Show continues on Saturday night at 6.50pm on BBC One.

Alan Carr Reveals Surprise Relation To Fellow Comedian Jonathan Ross

Alan Carr has revealed he is distantly related to fellow comic Jonathan Ross.

The RuPaul’s Drag Race UK judge told of how he was once told of a family link to the Masked Singer panellist by Jonathan’s mother, late EastEnders star Martha Ross.

Speaking on the latest episode of his Life’s A Beach podcast where Jonathan appeared as a guest, Alan explained how they both have links to Margate in Kent.

Alan said (via The Mirror): “People might not know this, but your lovely late mum came up to me at your Halloween party and said, ‘We are related aren’t we’. Do you remember?

“I was so excited because we come from the same area, we are distantly related. I remember going over to you saying, ‘Jonathan, Jonathan your mum says we’re related’ and you went, ‘For fuck sake’.”

Jonathan said: “I tried to stop her talking to people because she’d always find some famous connection.”

Alan told him it is apparently “quite a strong link”, to which he asked: “Is it really? I don’t know if I want to involved with you.”

“What! Fuck you,” Alan joked.

“I saw your episode of Who Do You Think You Are? and you’ve got a deserter in your family. I don’t know if I want to be tarnished by that,” Jonathan said, adding that he “forgets” they are related.

“But we don’t look alike, do we?” Alan asked.

Jonathan said: “Well, neither of us have got looks, let’s be honest. But you scrub up very well, you just don’t do it often!”

Alan Carr’s Life’s A Beach podcast is available to stream on podcast platforms now.

Jonathan Ross’ Family Made Their Celebrity Gogglebox Debut But All Anyone Could Talk About Was Their Incredible Sofa

Jonathan Ross made his Celebrity Gogglebox debut on Friday night and viewers had so many questions about a certain piece of furniture in the chat show host’s front room: mainly “where can I get one?”

Jonathan settled down on the family sofa with his son Harvey Kirby, daughter Honey Kinney and Honey’s boyfriend, musician Zane Saz to give their opinions on the week’s telly.

Well we say sofa, we’re not entirely sure that does it justice…
