This week on his BBC Two show Graham Norton chats to Joan Rivers and Alicia Silverstone.

Joan tells Graham on The Graham Norton Show about swearing on a live daytime ITV programme this week.

She says: “I was thrown out of Loose Women, two men turfed me off, I thought ‘osteoporosis, crack, crack!’ I thought this is a reality show and I’m the first voted off… they didn’t give me a goody bag.”

Alicia tells Graham about being a vegan: “I really care about animals, there’s so much unnecessary suffering going on… all four of my dogs are vegan, they don’t fart any more! I eat delicious food but without cruelty.”

And on stripping off for an advertisement for PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals), she says: “It was scary [but] I knew I really wanted to make this message appealing.”

Also on this week’s show there’s music from The Freemasons performing live in the studio.
