Just as the star-studded sofa of guests, including Love Actually's Martine McCutcheon, Gordon Ramsay and Jessica Hynes, were settling down to chat with Graham, Lenny seemed to lose his temper with the noisy audience. The year-old comedian then stood up and proceeded to berate the audience for making too much noise, yelling: "Could you shut up over there please?

It's really noisy, shut up! Graham nervously tried to laugh the situation off, commenting: "Oh, oh, oh, he's had enough…". The uncomfortable situation was not quite salvaged when Graham finally managed to get Lenny - who is currently starring in Broadchurch - to settle down in his seat again, saying: "The funny thing is, Lenny, those are the guests.

Growing up in the West Midlands, Lenny faced frequent racism. He describes living in two worlds: at home, he felt Jamaican, but outside his friends were white and he did what they did. How does James Stewart talk? And I can use that to make my friends laugh too.

If he had made wisecracks at home as a child, he knew it would have been seen as cheeky by his parents and resulted in punishment. So instead, he made jokes and did impressions to entertain his friends in the park.

Although Lenny was a shy teenager, his friends pushed him to enter a talent contest. However, it also meant he could provide for his family, so they no longer had to live on the breadline. No matter how I was doing it, I was able to help my family. Working in the clubs, Lenny felt he had to do gags about being black to win audiences over.
