NOT since the days of Lily Savage has Paul O’Grady been so acid-tongued.
The TV favourite has taken aim at a string of fellow stars in a shocking outburst during the filming of his new show.
He labelled rival Graham Norton’s show “boring” and had a pop at Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield for “laughing at everything”.
Paul was shooting a pilot for his new show called Saturday Night Line-Up, which he hopes ITV will pick up.
Good luck with that.
He said: “This will never get to a series. It’s the dirtiest show that is possible on telly. It is too rude. But they want a bit of rudeness now.
“I mean who the f*** wants to watch Alan Titchmarsh?
“You know what they are like at ITV, they are a bit leg- crossed aren’t they? Phil and Holly – the pair who p*** themselves if somebody says ‘bum’.”
If given the thumbs-up, the show will feature Paul chatting to celebrities, with Emma Bunton and Martin Kemp appearing as guests on the pilot show.
And Paul reckons there is a gap in the market as he finds Graham Norton’s hit BBC chat show a bit dull.
He ranted: “I can’t be doing with hour-long shows. I am in and out me.

“It is like The Graham Norton Show; you are plonked on the end of the couch and, of course, who are you going to talk to? You have got Meryl Streep at that end and me at the other.
“He’s not going to talk to me so I am sat there bored t**less.”
He’s going to have to get used to being ignored even more after this.
