Margot Robbie And Jacob Elordi Shine On Graham Norton

The Graham Norton Show, a staple of British television known for its blend of humor, celebrity insight, and live music, returned to BBC One and iPlayer on the evening of February 6, 2026, with a star-studded episode that left viewers buzzing. With a red sofa packed with talent from the worlds of film, music, and dance, the episode served as a showcase for new projects and candid conversations, all under Graham Norton’s signature light touch.

At the heart of the episode were Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, who appeared together to promote their upcoming film Wuthering Heights. The film, directed by Emerald Fennell and set for cinematic release on February 13, 2026, is a fresh interpretation of Emily Brontë’s classic novel. According to Evening Standard, Robbie described the film as “one of the greatest love stories of all time” during her chat with Norton. She explained, “Emerald loves the book and she really focused on the feeling it gave her when she first read it at 14. She channels that raw emotional experience so it’s an interpretation rather than an adaptation. In my opinion it is one of the greatest love stories of all time and it has a great cast and incredible actors. It’s a great film.”

Robbie, well-known for her roles in major blockbusters and for her work behind the scenes, revealed that she hadn’t initially planned to act in the film. “I wasn’t always going to be in it. I was thrilled to be the producer but at some point, we were talking about Cathy, and I decided to throw my hat into the ring. I’ve always wanted to be one of Emerald’s actors and fortunately, she felt the same way. It worked out wonderfully.” Her candid admission gave fans a peek behind the curtain at how casting decisions sometimes happen more organically than people might imagine.

Jacob Elordi, who plays Heathcliff opposite Robbie’s Cathy, brought his own blend of humor and humility to the sofa. As reported by Evening Standard, Elordi shared anecdotes about his early acting career and the hurdles he faced trying to break into Australian television. “I tried so hard. I auditioned for Neighbours twice and for Home And Away maybe three times, but they just didn’t cast me.” The audience laughed along, but Elordi’s persistence clearly paid off—he’s now not only starring in a major literary adaptation but is also an Oscar nominee for his role in Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein. On that note, he told Norton, “When I made my first film The Kissing Booth, someone said, ‘This plank of wood is so boring he could only play Frankenstein’s monster’. I actually thought it was a great idea and behold, six or seven years pass, and Guillermo del Toro cast me.”

But the evening was far from a two-person show. Amanda Seyfried, another Hollywood heavyweight, joined the conversation to discuss her latest project, The Testament of Ann Lees. Seyfried, who has been nominated for a Critics Choice Award for her performance, plays Ann Lee, the founder of the Shakers religious sect in the 18th century. The film is set for UK cinema release on February 20, 2026. When asked about her involvement in the much-rumored Mamma Mia 3, Seyfried didn’t hold back: “If I don’t get it, I will be pissed. I really want to be in it, but I don’t know much else about it.” Her frankness and enthusiasm delighted both Norton and the audience.

The episode also featured Johannes Radebe, the South African dancer beloved by fans of Strictly Come Dancing. Radebe is set to star in the musical Kinky Boots at the London Coliseum from March 17 to July 11, 2026. He recounted his journey to the role with characteristic charm, saying, “I feel like it was meant to be. I secretly told people for a long time that I would love to do it. The way it came was by luck and magic, but I turned it down the first time. But then I thought ‘give yourself this opportunity’ so, I got a singing and acting coach two years before I auditioned.” Radebe also revealed that a film about his life is in development, adding, “I just read my first script which is lovely, but it takes such a long time. I am hoping not to play myself, but I might make a cameo appearance.” When asked if he would return for another season of Strictly, he didn’t hesitate: “I will do that show for as long as they will have me. It’s a magical, sparkling world. I love it.”

Music for the evening came courtesy of Jacob Alon, a Scottish singer-songwriter whose career has been on a meteoric rise. Alon, a BRIT Award Critics Choice winner, performed his new single “Don’t Fall Asleep” live in the studio, much to the delight of the audience. After his performance, he joined the other guests on the sofa, sharing stories from his musical journey. Alon’s debut album In Limerence was released in May 2025 and has already earned nominations for the Mercury Prize and Scottish Album of the Year, according to NationalWorld.

The episode was a testament to the enduring appeal of The Graham Norton Show. Broadcasting at 10:40 pm (11:10 pm in Northern Ireland) on BBC One and iPlayer, the show continues to be a must-watch for fans of entertainment and pop culture. Its unique ability to bring together stars from different corners of the arts—film, television, music, and dance—creates a dynamic atmosphere where candid moments and genuine connections are the norm rather than the exception.

For those who missed the broadcast, the episode is available to stream on BBC iPlayer, and future episodes promise more high-profile guests. Next week, viewers can look forward to appearances from actors Stephen Graham, Kaley Cuoco, Adrian Lester, and the band Gorillaz.

With memorable quotes, heartfelt admissions, and a palpable sense of camaraderie on the sofa, the February 6, 2026 episode of The Graham Norton Show was a reminder of why the program remains a beloved fixture on British television. Whether it was Margot Robbie’s passion for storytelling, Jacob Elordi’s self-deprecating humor, Amanda Seyfried’s candor, Johannes Radebe’s infectious enthusiasm, or Jacob Alon’s musical talent, every guest brought something unique, making for an evening that was as entertaining as it was enlightening.
