Sophie Ellis-Bextor on Graham Norton Show (S29 - E02)

for a bond premiere the girl with the golden dress and dr no hair i should talk it's been a busy week for kate and wills as well they as well as the premiere they visited a petting zoo where kate held a tarantula if you're wondering where they got that spider from greg any ideas where they got the spider did they get it on the web yes they did that's where you get spiders i should go now no you peeked you feed your cocktail and uh finally it was the labour party conference in brighton this week oh yes secure starmer there electrifying the party faithful actually it was definitely leader angela raynor who really got them going this week with a bit of old-fashioned tory bashing and did you see she got into trouble for calling boris johnson scum i mean that is a bit much i mean scum is something unpleasant you find in a bath we've got a great lineup for you tonight for later we'll have music and chat my good friend jack separating the legendary nile rogers but first he's a top comic and one of our favorite people is greg davies she's a singer a songwriter at queen of the kitchen disco it's sophie ellis victor she's the british paralympic star who's broken records and brought home gold at the tokyo games it's kadena clubs [Applause] and he is the front man of the biggest band it rocked today from foo biters is dave gross [Applause] yeah that is some range that's great i like it i like it listen normally uh i pretend to be interested in everyone but really i'm just thinking do you have the gold medals on you you do don't you i'll brought those yay is [Applause] but here's the thing tokyo olympics were a bit weird because no crowd does that affect you well obviously you broke world records it didn't but are you so in the zone you don't notice there aren't crowds cheering you on um i think we were really looking at that face who are you waving at we've got quite a good team like you know the british team like we're quite a big team and then the velodrome like because it's got a roof on it it can be quite noisy um but honestly i was so in the zone and i had my headphones in and i was listening to my music and dancing around and then you get on the start line and you've got to focus on nothing else but yourself yeah because dave god i imagine you would not like that no crowd you're back in front of big crowds again aren't you yeah we're back to doing shows now and um you know it's funny i'm addicted to that sort of applause because the day i was born uh january 14th 1969. write it down the delivery room was filled with these young doctors that were there to witness their first live birth and so as my mother squeezed me out the room burst into applause you're making that i swear to god it's me up [Applause] is part of you liking to perform do you think it is i mean not that you got applauded when you were born but uh but you were born into the public eye i mean your mom was very famous so you grew up in the public eye oh golly i mean it's really hard who isn't influenced by what happened in their childhood when it comes to what you do and you're bigger but i think i think the fact that my parents both worked in tv meant that i thought that any job was something i could aim for so being a musician wasn't kind of on a different level to sort of more normal jobs yeah um and yeah i think i maybe i was always yeah a bit attracted to a bit of that but i don't know really because i felt like music was kind of my own thing away from what my mum was doing and my mom when she was doing blue peter was when i was between the ages of like four and eight so it was kind of crazy she was being mobbed by people at the same height as me which is really a great strange experience for a child this is blue peter it's a children's do you ever hear no no idea what anyone's talking about that's my mom oh hey look yeah oh the one at the back thank you greg thanks for pointing that out because you you were a blue peter fan greg yes so what's graham and it's one of those things that i told your researchers that i immediately regretted you're going to make me admit in front of sophie that i had a crush on her mum don't worry you're not that's basically like the story of my like parties i'd go to when i was a teenager yeah i'd be talking to a boy and i think this is going quite well and then he'd be like i used to really fancy your mum and blue peter and i was just like it's a real awakening those early blue pizza years well i have no idea who her mother is but the first time i saw her i'm like that's the most beautiful woman i've ever seen in my life that's sophia spectra and it was in front of the hotel in spain at the mtv awards in 2003 yeah and i remember 2002 something like that i'm like oh my god there she is and i walked up to her i was like murder on the dance floor [Laughter] i think i thought that you were taking the mickey no [Applause] no no no no no no i've got some old recordings of blue peter if you're nursed here [Applause] now here is the thing dave grohl you are not here to sing or talk about music you've written a book the storyteller it's out yeah i know it's out on the 5th of october and it's fair to say this was your this is kind of your lockdown gig your lockdown project yeah the band had made an album and we had booked a tour last year was our 25th anniversary so we had this like stadium tour that was going around the world and we had made videos and documentaries and then everything shut down and i'm not good at doing nothing i'm bad at vacations i thought like oh my god what am i going to do there's nothing to do so i started first i started an instagram page my first okay and rather than take pictures of myself in a thong in the mirror i thought i'll just write stories both of my parents were writers and i really enjoy writing so i started writing these stories about like incredible experiences i've had jamming with david bowie jamming with prince rock and roll stories and then i realized i was we were gonna be here a while so i thought well i'll just write a book and so i spent the last year uh writing these short stories about these incredible experiences of my uh life and what's extraordinary i don't think i've ever read a book like this where someone has a single dream and then it comes true like you you were very young when you wanted to be a drummer you wanted to be a rock star yeah i mean i i i never really took lessons to play music i would listen to records and learn by ear and i had like posters on my walls it was like led zeppelin posters there were lasers and dragons and castles and smoke machines and i just didn't think that that was real life i didn't think that was uh attainable and then i went i saw a punk rock band first show i ever saw was a punk rock band in the club in chicago i think i was 13 years old there were like two lights a little stage they knew four chords there were 50 people there they busted into the song there was like glass flying and piss and puke and just like i was like i was in heaven this is rock and roll because i realized i could do that too so you know i had left school and joined the band and started touring the world when i was 18. but did your parents just go bye dave so my father my father was a conservative republican speechwriter on capitol hill i'm from washington d.c okay so he was like he was like bob dole i mean he was like he was a very conservative guy my mother was a public school teacher who taught creative writing uh uh public speaking both musicians this one liberal this one conservative so my father was like that's it like i'm disowning you my mother was like you better be good and so she said go ahead go out and do it wow i did it you did i mean you did when you look at you know a life held between covers like this and what's what i think fascinating is something like you know nirvana that changed your life changed the world yeah it's just three and a half years in these years well that's the thing is that in those three and a half years that i was in nirvana um it was a lifetime i mean you you can imagine how much changed in that time not just in music but in the world i mean it was kind of it was such a beautiful time it was like a renaissance it was like there was some sort of like new emotional awakening where people felt okay to be themselves and when it all ended it was just a matter of trying to figure out how to continue life and wednesday it all ended i mean when when kirkbain died you were giving up you you tried to escape i did i wasn't sure what to do with my life i couldn't even listen to music i didn't want to turn on the radio i put my instruments away i didn't uh it hurt too much to listen to music so i thought i'm going to go to one of my favorite places in the world one of the most remote areas i could find just to go out and like soul search and find myself so i went to the ring of cary yay it is beautiful it's absolutely beautiful nice weather no of course not it's very rare driving down this country road and i'm like trying to to figure out my life and trying to move on and i see a hitchhiker and he's in a parka and it's kind of maybe raining a little and as i'm pulling up to him i think i'm going to pick this kid up he's got a far away to go and i got closer and closer and i saw he had a kurt cobain t-shirt on and i thought even in the most remote area i could possibly find i can't outrun this thing yeah and i thought okay i'm gonna go home and i'm gonna start over and i started the foo fighters wow wow and you you say it like that you went back and you did record music and i i guess i'm stupid i didn't know foo fighters was just dave grohl well first of all what a stupid name for man you know when i went in to record it i just i booked six days in a studio down the street from my house and i'd always i'd always recorded things by myself i could play the drums i play the bass i play guitar i can sing but it was my secret i never let anyone else hear it so i thought okay i booked six days at the studio i blasted through 15 songs i made cassettes i gave them to friends and people at gas stations and i called it foo fighters because i thought they'll think it's a band because it's plural yeah and uh and then it became a band but but the reason why i did it was because i just wanted to like i needed to survive i needed to like get on with life i needed i was too young i was 25. yeah life wasn't over yet it is crazy that you're having to start everything again at 25. yeah yeah and i mean you talk about the name of the band you didn't have much luck with band names your first band in school uh what what were you called there was a battle of the bands and we had to apply and on the form we couldn't think of anything so we just called ourselves nameless okay was it this band that's just that's nameless yeah right yeah by the way we lost that battle of the bands and i think the reason why is because we decided to play the theme from footloose also it does look like five boys sharing one guitar can i play it no it's my turn that's sophie your first band what were they called the audience which is also not like the easiest fan name really also we decided to make it all one word so when you write it down it's basically theories or yeah i believe this is theory you look so pleased to be there so wow you know i saw this picture for the first time again recently and the weirdest thing i've i've got literally no memory of that being taken and you think that would be the turtleneck were the turtlenecks required or was this just winter i'm sure that was perfect yeah as a drummer i think you'll appreciate what the drummer is playing there he appears to be playing the sheep well that's the best part of the shoot by the way that's the right there that's what that sounds great that's where all the acoustics are yeah hey you're not the only musicians here greg you were in a band oh yeah oh yeah what you got oh yeah back in the 90s we were called five licks of the lemon grey i believe we have a picture of five licks of the lemon there are and with good reason because martin our guitarist is five foot tall i'm six foot eight so we were never gonna make it on that basis alone but did you do gigs and stuff yeah we did a handful of gigs it was a very similar i started off on drums very similar story today became the lead singer but you'll all know that we did a handful of gigs yeah um and and ladies and gentlemen kadena cox you were also in a band i mean i'm not as cool as these guys i picked the difference with the olympic gold medal what band were you in i saw i was in my high school whether it be high school's brass band playing the [Applause] and have trombone have you kept up the trombone kadena no i haven't i you know when you're a school kid and you've got that that that case it's not the best shape yes i do get laughed after running around with that case um so trombone was my first instrument what it was like same thing the case carrying it to school every day and i was sitting there playing the trombone i was like i will never get any chicks [Applause] same was very much true of five licks of the lemon there's no women involved we we did a gig in a pub one of our handful of gigs and um my parents came to watch which is quite sweet isn't it and there was an old man who was a local at the pub propping up the bar and then during the first song my dad nudged this old guy who's sitting with his pint and went what'd you think and he said i have never heard such a awful noise in my life and my dad went oh that's my uh that's my son's thing and he went oh they're good oh my god no kanina costs i wouldn't discount you for music because if you set your mind to something it appears you can do it so track cycling running you're running first then the track cycling when did you discover because i mean these medals are for cycling so yeah when did you discover you're this amazing cyclist um so i actually fell in cycling by accident so i got ill in 2014 um and after so i had a stroke and then i was diagnosed with ms and after the ms diagnosis i had really bad balance and every time i tried to run i'd fall over but i still wanted to be in like the with the athletes and the scholarship gym so i sat on a what bike and it's a really sad story actually there was a girl who was trying to transfer from swimming into cycling and she said oh i've got the number for this um you know the woman that leads the cycle in like can get you in so she gave me the number um i'm now a cyclist she's no longer in sports wow he's changed channels the miniatures yeah i just kind of it was because i couldn't run um so sitting on a bike was easier at that point and yeah i literally did one testing session and the physiologist said to my head coach you've got to get her on the team um so we did and a year later i was world champion i know it's terrifying and you've turned it into this really inspirational amazing thing how quickly were you able to do that in your own head were you able to hear that diagnosis and go okay i can i can turn this around i can make this a a positive thing yeah i think i'm just one of those people if i like sit and dwell on something for too long then like it's just never going to go well so i just it's probably i think it's like 48 hours me and my mom um we asked the consultant straight away if i was going to be able to run again um and he said you know that there's potential there he doesn't see why i wouldn't be able to if i worked hard um so i took it and ran with it really and you are you are running again obviously cycling but which seems like you could do anything but does it affect your everyday life yeah yeah so i think a lot of people see me moving around and they don't quite understand my symptoms and how i struggle um a lot of the issues i have are kind of muscle spasms or sensory issues um so i was actually i was watching i was watching him i was at the theater last night and i sat next to this guy's and i'm just thinking i'm gonna absolutely punch this guy in the face and not because i disliked him but because i have spasms so everyone there is never to sit on my right-hand side um because i haven't yeah so yeah so i get like kind of yeah spasms that i'm not i'm not sure we're going to come and that yeah i can just hit people or because of my sensory issues like i can't feel things great so like i've constantly got pins and needles i don't have the best like feeling in this hand so like heat stuff i pick stuff up all the time and it takes me forever to realize it's burning my hand wow yeah but it seems like it's that competitive spirit that kind of has saved your life transformed your life because even things like we watched you on masterchef which she won uh you know you know yeah and if you hadn't won that would you have been upset no no it was obviously great to win but i think i'm gonna play this down now you know it was like obviously masterchef is cool but it's not like i haven't trained for it like i've never like worked hard to be a chef um so like i mean i would have been upset if i didn't wait i think we all enjoyed the episode where you made a sandwich oh don't talk about the sandwiches well it is amazing you won in an episode you made a sandwich it's a lovely sandwich we've got a picture of it here you see you're impressed now yum yeah no the photographer did a great job there what's in it um so that is a tandoori cod sandwich um the tandoori air left in the pan though because it all got sizzled off um but there were some amazing onion rings in there i think they saved me i like sophie going yeah sophie i do like this you had a sandwich experience in russia was this when you were a tourist or a pop star um i think you might be referring to the time when um there was a yeah i mean you've always got your rider and sometimes the rider is slightly invented and so this one was a plate of sandwiches but they'd left it on an ironing board with an iron i suppose i can make them i don't know toasted by myself i'm not sure you posted this picture so these this is [Applause] personally i think it looks possibly delicious yeah no you'd really melt the cheese it'll be good yeah so dave obviously you're a big star now the days of ironing your own sandwiches long long what what is what is a dave grohl rider what do you what do you demand oh my goodness uh clean socks oh really clean socks clean socks that's on your riders am i wrong that anyone who's bought a brand new pair of socks when you first put them on you're just like oh you walk around the floor and it's like you're walking on air am i the only person no no am i wrong iron sheets i think iron sheets are like that that's lovely none of this is very rock and roll okay comedy tour comedy tour what's on your writer i've only got one thing on my right and it's only in recent years since i've become this fat graham and it's um there's a new product out an anti-sweat device and i uh deodorant uh you made me up tonight as you can probably see didn't have it so that's my yeah what does it look like it's a wipe it's like a hand wipe and i wha if i'm on tv normally i wipe it from here down to about my waist and and i remain fresh i mean obviously below the waist it's horrendous would it not work it looks like i've been river fishing [Applause] but is it sort of just deodorant on a wipe i it feels more industrial than that it feels dangerous is it powdered it i can't move after i've had well you're going to get a lot of it free now whatever it is i'm waiting i'm waiting for the sponsorship deal from the sweating companies or greg's the baker come on yeah one of the other it's a race it's a racist who gets you first uh sophie alice rexter brings us her memoir spinning plates and this is out on october the 7th and now uh dave was saying he wrote his in lockdown this wasn't a lockdown project for you actually it was actually yeah yeah sorry so yeah um [Applause] [Laughter] so the book did come about lockdown yes so um i was asked i was approached about writing it about a year ago actually um and i'd never really thought before actually about writing an autobiography and i think it was just serendipity really the right question at the right time so the initial idea was i was going to write a series of essays about kind of whatever i felt like writing about and as i sat down to write and maybe a little bit like it just kind of came tumbling out of me really and i thought oh i think i'm writing the whole thing here i think this is an autobiography and i i really loved it it was a really nice process yeah and this book there's lots of it people expect you know your pop career and your family and your kids you're being a child everything but at the heart of it there are some dark stories and were they always going to be in the book or did you kind of just brace yourself and go okay i'm going to do this yeah i think it was so it was a very selfish pursuit in terms of what i wanted to write about and the things that i felt that was ready to but you know what it's funny because i as presume when you say about the dark things you're talking about stuff like the first time i slept with someone which wasn't something i consented to at the time and then yeah the relationship i was in that wasn't great but it's funny it's there's an amazing power in being able to write about those things on my own terms and i feel like this weird sense that me and 17 year old me are like high-fiving each other i've i've been able to go back to that younger girl and give give myself a voice and it's it feels great it feels really good well that's so i'm so pleased for you because no because the trouble you know because the danger is you kind of think you'll go back there and kind of traumatize yourself all again but yeah i think i totally understand why you're saying that but actually i've had some amazing feedback from people like some close friends some people i don't know so well and someone said to me it's it's actually not triggering to read you know a relationship something that resonates with you it's actually empowering and i just don't know when having those conversations isn't a good thing when doesn't something good come out of people being honest about stuff and a lot of people might see me and think i'm happily married i'm very lucky to have a job i adore i've got my beautiful children but there's things that happen along the way that have made me appreciate all those all the more so i'm very happy to share that and be honest and open it it's a nice feeling and you you talk about your family and you talk about your your children yeah remind me the ages again what did you say so they're now between two and 17. two and 17. five all boys yeah in the grawl house it's all girls right we got three girls i'm sensing a reality show that's all i'm saying i think it's called a brady bunch i'm not sure actually five three nothing how many are you from uh so there's seven of us in our household that's cool though do you like it um no it's me oh no i think i answered that before thought about it oh sorry it's me and my sister i've got a sister that's 32 i'm the youngest one of the older ones she's 26. so in that you know gap there's five of us so that was very intense growing up um i love my little brother and sister who were 14 and 16 this year so they're really sweet yeah like they're very like different separate yeah yeah so it was intense growing up but i love my sisters now like yeah we've got a great little camaraderie as well because actually sophie you talk about your life and sharing your life the kitchen disc goes we did sort of see some of the carnage of your home life here's a here's a taste of what went on your kitchen disco's [Music] ray be careful remember what i told you about [Laughter] yeah i had to keep telling them off because they kept climbing up stuff and i'm like we can't go to hospital right now get down this is not the time to injure yourself i just feel so ashamed that all that you were doing these amazing things during lockdown oh that's not amazing though is it really you know what i achieved during the first three months of lockdown i um 117 mars bars more worthy than i thought people are genuinely impressed that is a lot of mars bars yeah the worst i did was stefan in the day don't do seven in a day it made me wanna i tried to pull my own face off [Laughter] now looking at that sophie yeah it doesn't look like it but are any of the boys interested in pursuing a career in music well the thing is i did have a captive audience in my kids when i was in disco but sadly i don't think many of them are fans of what i do so you know you can't pick and choose those things um yeah i've definitely got a couple where i would be surprised if they're not in bands or want to do music for a bit but i don't know i mean some of them are really little still so yeah it's hard to say because dave you were telling us your daughters was it harper did she get a piano lesson oh yeah years ago i i made friends with paul mccartney and his wife and my wife swapped numbers so every time he'd come to los angeles his wife would text my wife and say hey we're going to dinner would you like to come to dinner and of course my wife knows who paul mccartney is and but i don't know if he means the same to her as he does to me he's a beatle you know that's how i learned how to play music so we had just had ophelia our youngest and paul and nancy were in town they said like okay we want to come see the new baby she was a week old so they come over to the house and of course my kids know who the beatles are because i brainwashed them when they were young with all of the beatles music we have wine pizza and we're hanging out and it was time for paul to go paul and nancy were leaving and there's a piano in the corner of the room and he just can't help himself you know so he sits down at the piano and he starts playing lady madonna in my house my mind is blown i can't believe this is happening this is like the most full circle crazy moment of my entire life my daughter harper who i think was five at the time is watching paul mccartney on the piano and she goes to the kitchen she gets a coffee cup she puts some spare change in it and puts it on top of the piano like it's a tech jar and i thought she's a girl i like that did he then kind of teach her some chords he did actually she she had never uh she'd never taken a lesson to play any instrument at that point and she sat down and she watched his hands they sat together and he was showing her what to play and they wrote a song together as they were doing it it was the only time i've ever taken a picture of paul because to me i i don't really want to do that i just want to kind of be his friend you know yeah but i saw my daughter getting her first piano lesson from paul mccartney and i took a video the next morning i woke up and i went to the kitchen i was making breakfast and i heard her playing the song that they had written the night before and i came around the corner and she looked at me as she was playing the piano she realized i was watching and she never played the piano again not for god's sake and then she's like i want to be a drummer i'm like are you out of your mind but she wrote a song with paul mccartney they sat down and they started writing a song together oh my god his daughter wrote a song with paul mccartney yeah i didn't eat 117 now greg davis you are here to tell us about your new bbc sitcom cleaner it continues on friday nights at 9 30 bbc1 and the full series is available to binge on iplayer now so this is a weird kind of journey so this show began in in german on german television yeah it was a jerk it was a german tv show that ran for about seven series over there yeah and the germans have actually got a word for crime scene cleaner one word i can't still can't predict but it started off as a little show and it ran for seven series and how did you find it um studio hamburg who made it um approached the bbc and said uh we'd like to do you want to do an adaptation of this and can we get that fat sweaty bloke and then there are lots of really sorry guest stars did you write roles specifically for the various no i didn't dare i did i mean if i was honest i had david mitchell in my head when i wrote the david mitchell because he's such a distinctive voice so i just kept my fingers crossed that he would do it because i had his his uh nasal rants in my head in my mind i was writing it but the rest i i just put them out and hoped nice people would say yeah hey no oscar no one was more surprised than me that she said yes okay i'll tell you something can i tell you what was happening in that obviously that's the edited scene but i'll tell you we had a we had someone laurie the first ad was operating a fart machine just off to the right and that isn't a real bathroom that was a bedroom in the house because the the bathroom wasn't small enough wasn't big enough sorry so we took a bedroom and we converted it so it's a prop toilet prop sink etcetera and um so we had laurie uh operating a fart machine just off to my right here so that we could have the occasional subtle little break of wind from heleno while she's holding me hostage in the toilet and i was doing the scene and then he was getting so trigger happy it was ridiculous i was trying to do lines and there was it was bloody ridiculous so in the end i had to stop acting i looked over at him and he wasn't pressing the button and i went and i looked behind me it was princess margaret going off going off like a tugboat behind me genuinely farting i'd only just got over the shock that helena bonham cartridge said yes to my thing and then she was farting within feet of me and she found it so funny she found her own farting which was magnificent i might say she found her own farting so funny she then wet and herself to leave the set and while she was leaving the set she was shouting at the top of her voice it's natural [Laughter] [Applause] i think there's two more to go with the fourth one played out tonight with the brilliant stephanie cole and there's two more to go and i'm watch them all on iplayer they're all there if you'd like to watch them i would love you to watch them excellent thank you very much greg at right time for music this man is one of our favorite singers on the show and tonight he's joined by a true music legend performing is current single who's hurting who with nile rogers on guitar it's jack severetty [Applause] [Music] when you come after me and i go after you when both of us are doing what we want to do [Music] how we both lie to each other don't care much for the truth but tell me something tell me something who's heard who's had it [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] you tell me who i am i tell you [Music] [Applause] who's had [Music] tell me [Music] [Music] um [Music] and how i can make you feel [Music] this [Music] i is want to know [Music] what you have to say i'll just turn away i always turn away [Music] [Applause] [Music] tell me [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] game [Applause] thank you very much for that congratulations on uh the album your piano which is a number one album jacksepticeye yeah yeah thank you and uh that is a soundtrack to my summer i listened to that album really yeah no thank you man that's what it was kind of designed to be yeah yeah it kind of gives it away yeah you're you're continuing summer with this song well i wanted to give my kids the summer holiday that we couldn't go on that was kind of the whole point of this album was you know looking out the window wasn't cutting it and how did this happen niall did jack severetti send you a postcard it was an email it was a simple answer i've been trying to imitate now rogers since the first time i ever saw an electric guitar like i think anybody who's ever played an instrument you there's every time in the studio i'm like can we put some now rajasthan guitar down on this and i was working with mark ralph on this track and he said yeah let's just ask now to do it yeah here we are and then you said yes yeah of course and you've worked with somebody have you uh sophie have you met nile then we haven't have we hi sophie [Music] and now we meet and uh dave grohl i wouldn't have been have you foo fighters not rogers he's the king dude he's my god he's the king we've met before i love him so much and the thing i love about him so much of course everyone knows he's a brilliant musician he's a brilliant producer songwriter but he's got this big energy man it's so full of love and so full of life and that's what i love about him the most when i see his face i'm just like life actually happened and you are a doer that's the thing i think about non rogers you know you have worked with so many people over the years you know the madonna's bowie drandurand i don't know all these people have you ever approached them or do they always do you just sit in your house waiting for me um you know it's really strange most of my
