Speaking at the Cheltenham Literary Festival, Lisa, 52, said: “Greg was telling – I’m probably not allowed to say this…
“Greg just told rude joke after rude joke to the crew.
“You’re just sitting there and if you’re on the front bench just chopping away thinking, ‘I’ve got ten minutes left,’ and he’s saying, ‘So this girl walked into a bar…’
“And I’m going, ‘Please I don’t want to hear this joke’.”
John, 59, was also at the festival and awkwardly chimed in to defend his co-star.

Since then, 13 people who worked with Gregg across a range of shows over a 17-year period have now accused him of making sexual comments, the BBC confirmed today.
Among the complainants is BBC Newsnight host Kirsty Wark, who said he told “sexualised” jokes during filming on Celebrity MasterChef in 2011.
The broadcaster told how she feels strongly that the comments were “really, really in the wrong place”.
Times Radio presenter and 2017 Celebrity MasterChef contestant Aasmah Mir today posted a cryptic message after the news broke, saying: “Always keep your receipts.”
Other allegations include Gregg talking openly about his sex life, taking his top off in front of a junior staffer and telling another young colleague he wasn’t wearing any pants.
BBC News today confirmed they launched a probe into Gregg in the summer after claims were made regarding five shows between 2005 to 2022.
Gregg’s lawyers have branded the latest claims as false but the MasterChef host has stepped away from the hit cooking series while a separate investigation is carried out.
MasterChef production company Banijay UK said complaints have been made this week in relation to “historical allegations” of misconduct while on the show.
