The Graham Norton Show has revealed which celebrity guests will be joining the titular host for the programme's first outing in October.

Having been absent from our screens since late April, the popular late night series is set to return on Friday, September 24 with an episode that will see Léa Seydoux, Lashana Lynch, Rami Malek and 007 himself, Daniel Craig, chat to Norton about eagerly anticipated James Bond movie No Time to Die.

The following week though, on October 1, it will be Taskmaster presenter Greg Davies and singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor's turn to descend upon the big red couch.

It has also been confirmed that Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl and Paralympic gold medallist Kadeena Cox will be stopping by too, while Jack Savoretti and Nile Rodgers are lined up to perform 'Who's Hurting Who' from Jack's newest record, Europiana.

Davies is sure to be talking about the new series of Taskmaster, which is due to kick off on September 23 on Channel 4, and solo project The Cleaner, too.

Meanwhile, Ellis-Bextor – whose character 'Alien' was the first to be eliminated in the most recent series of The Masked Singer – will likely touch on what it was like keeping everyone entertained with her livestreamed kitchen gigs during the past year too.

Elsewhere, Grohl is expected to discuss the fact that he and fellow band members Nate Mendel, Pat Smear, Taylor Hawkins, Chris Shiflett and Rami Jaffee just recently picked up the Global Icons Award at the MTV VMAs, as well as their current disco-filled album Hail Satan, upcoming world tour and the fact that they'll soon be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

The Graham Norton Show airs this episode on Friday, October 1 at 10.35pm on BBC One, and will return for its new series on September 24.
