Graham has fronted the BBC programme since 2007 and has seen a whole host of famous faces sit on the sofa alongside him.
But according to Graham, it was Hollywood heartthrob, Mark Wahlberg, who was the worst.
Mark was booked to appear on Graham’s sofa in 2013 to plug his movie at the time, Broken City, but Graham has now shared that whatever was in Mark’s “system” took hold.
Graham appeared to suggest that Mark was drunk whilst appearing on the programme despite not initially seeming to be.

Speaking at the Henley Literary Festival 2025 on Friday, Graham said: “Mark Wahlberg was a weird one because when he arrived, he didn’t seem drunk.
“He told me about his film, told me a couple of stories about stunts going wrong or whatever, and then it was only 15 minutes into the show when whatever the hell was in his system really took hold – and it was hell.”
The Eurovision commentator recounted how Mark consistently interrupted all of the guests as well as Graham during the filming of the programme.
The star claimed that the actor even then fell asleep on the coach as fellow star Michael Fassbender managed to deliver an anecdote without interruption.
Graham added: “I thought, ‘this one is going well – I wonder why’ and I looked over at Mark Wahlberg and he was asleep, so yeah, we don’t encourage that.”
It was recently revealed that Graham had landed a deal with the BBC to keep his chat show going for some time to come.
With the current 33rd series on air, Graham will also be firmly back for a 34th edition next year.
Speaking of the news of the show’s renewal, he previously said: “Getting to host my own chat show is a huge pleasure as well as a privilege.
“I’m thrilled that the BBC are allowing me to continue for another three years.
“The whole team is looking forward to bringing the world’s brightest stars into the homes of the great British public!”
