Channel 4 Late Night Lycett: Celebrity guests announced for Friday’s show including Greg James and Rylan Clark

 Five famous faces will be joining comedian Joe Lycett on his late night show on Friday including Greg James, Rylan Clark and Katherine Ryan

Comedian Joe Lycett is in the studio with some special celebrity guests for his late night show, which will be shown on Channel 4 this Friday, (April 7). Lycett fronts his new comedy series full of laugh-out-loud moments, where the comic, along with a few famous faces, take on hilarious sketches and games.

Late Night Lycett premiered last week and featured an iconic guest appearance from none other than Alan Carr. A highlight from the episode included a sketch which saw the entertaining duo present a mock news programme called “Straight Talking.”

During the chaotic segment, the 34-year-old comedian, pretending to be a character named “Richard Yewtree”, dons a wig, a blue suit and a fake moustache whilst Alan reads off a TV autocue and provides commentary on the latest happenings.

In the run-up to the first episode, the television presenter and funny man tried to coax disgraced MP Liz Truss into making a surprise appearance.

In an open letter printed in the Conservative MP’s constituency newspaper, Eastern Daily Press, Lycett wrote: “Now I know that you haven’t had the easiest few months, and I just want to assure you of my 100% continued support. I’ll be honest Liz - I miss you. Not just in Downing Streetbut from my life.”
