Comedy giant Greg Davies has left fans in hysterics after revealing one of the most awkward and hilarious moments from his appearance on Lorraine Kelly's morning show. The 6'8" comedian, known for his roles in The Inbetweeners and Taskmaster, shared the cringe-worthy story during an interview about his upcoming tour.
The unexpected revelation came when Davies confessed that Lorraine had complimented him on his choice of underwear during a commercial break. "She told me she liked my knickers," Davies revealed with his characteristic booming laugh. "It's not something you expect to hear from national treasure Lorraine Kelly at 9:30 in the morning."
Behind the Scenes of Morning Television
The moment occurred during Davies' appearance on the ITV daytime programme to discuss his comedy tour. While viewers at home were watching advertisements, the studio was apparently filled with much more personal conversation.
Davies, who was promoting his show 'You Magnificent Beast', seemed both embarrassed and amused by the memory. "I didn't know whether to be flattered or concerned," he joked during the interview.
From Teacher to Comedy Royalty
The 56-year-old comedian has come a long way from his days as a drama teacher before finding fame as Mr. Gilbert in The Inbetweeners. His career has since skyrocketed with successful sitcoms like Cuckoo and his role as the imposing host of Taskmaster.
Davies' upcoming tour promises more of his signature self-deprecating humour and larger-than-life storytelling. Fans can expect anecdotes about his unconventional path to comedy stardom and, presumably, more stories about unexpected underwear compliments from television icons.
A History of Memorable Television Moments
This isn't the first time Davies has shared awkward moments from his television career. Known for his honest and often hilarious behind-the-scenes stories, the comedian has built a reputation for being refreshingly open about the realities of working in television.
The interaction with Lorraine Kelly seems perfectly in character for both presenters - Kelly known for her warm, informal interviewing style, and Davies for his ability to find humour in even the most unexpected situations.
As Davies continues his tour across the UK, audiences can look forward to more revelations from one of Britain's most beloved comedians. Just maybe leave the knickers talk at home.
