The Graham Norton Show is back very soon, and we now know which celebrities will be parking up on the big red sofa during the second episode, airing on October 4.

The opening episode's line-up was confirmed last week, but the follow-up promises even more glamour, intrigue and comedy.

First out to chat to Graham is Oscar-winning actress Renee Zellweger as she promotes her new Judy Garland biopic titled Judy (duh!).

She'll be joined by popular documentary-maker Louis Theroux, who's on hand to talk about his new book Gotta Get Theroux This: My Life and Strange Times in Television.

Meanwhile, comedian and actor Lenny Henry will also appear on the second episode – talking about his upcoming memoir Who Am I, Again? and theatre tour.

But that's not all, because pop music legend Andrew Ridgeley is swinging by the studio too, to discuss his life and work with the late, great George Michael.

During the last series (which concluded earlier this year), comedian and actor Jack Whitehall stepped in for Graham to guest host an episode due to the latter's Eurovision hosting commitments.

This proved massively popular with fans of the show, so it'll be interesting to see whether Jack can be weaved in somehow for the new series.

The Graham Norton Show's second episode will air on Friday, October 4.
