Miriam Margolyes, that ever-charming and beloved actress, never fails at keeping us entertained with her storytelling. Her latest yarn about a snowy escapade might just be her most hilarious one yet.
Returning guest on The Graham Norton Show
At 84 years young, Miriam Margolyes will soon grace The Graham Norton Show this Friday, November 28. This marks her tenth appearance on this fan-favorite show. A real legend in LGBTQ+ circles, Miriam's known far and wide not only because she's sharp and quick-witted, but because she's genuinely unforgettable, making her one guest you can't wait not miss.
A snowy escapade at a health retreat
This week, Miriam will be joining a stellar lineup on that iconic red sofa, alongside Glenn Close, Alexander Skarsgard, and Nicola Coughlan, with music from Jessie J. But let's be honest—it's Miriam's side-splitting stories that we're all waiting on.
She shares a memorable experience from a health retreat: "I once went there and decided I needed a sauna," she recalls, with that signature storytelling style. "And wouldn't you know it, as it started snowing, I couldn't help myself. I dashed out stark naked and rolled around in that snow, rubbing it all over." Oh Miriam, classic!
Turns out, her little adventure led her straight from snow rolling back inside and right up against a stern talking-to. "Next thing, I'm being called up by management, told 'never again' with my snow escapades!" she says, laughing heartily.
Her candidness isn't just hilarious; it captures her fearless spirit and zest perfectly.
Glimpses from her new memoir
While chatting with Graham, Miriam also gives us insight from her latest memoir, "The Little Book Of Miriam." With a playful grin, she admits, "The title wasn't my pick. I had a few other ideas, but my publishers, bless their hearts, thought this one was best."
Why she said no-thanks-no-way-hosey-to reality TV
Margolyes also spills on why she turned down The Celebrity Traitors. In her own words: "Can't think anything I'd dislike more… Nope, not my cup." She openly says she's never watched it, and she doesn't plan on starting now.
True her style, she gives props where it due, acknowledging how talented some folks on there are. She even names Alan Carr, Jonathan Ross, and Cat Burns, noting their brilliance.
