In this year’s Christmas special, the hosts were joined by the legendary Sir Lenny Henry, who brought his wit and charm to the holiday-themed discussions.
The atmosphere was filled with festive cheer, as the boys and Sir Lenny shared humorous anecdotes and lively conversations, perfect for getting into the Christmas spirit.

Also in the episode, I’m A Celebrity star Richard Coles left viewers gobsmacked as he made a surprise admission about his brother being a spy.
When host Adam Hills spoke of Prince Andrew severing ties with an alleged Chinese spy, Richard interjected: “My brother was a spy.
“He’s retired now. He was a spy cop in the 1980s that’s subject of an inquiry at the moment.
“He was put into various groups which were identified as being dangerous.”
Describing how his family first suspected their brother’s secret life, Richard explained: “He’d turn up for Christmas looking very much like his undercover role. Not quite the bow-tie-wearing type seen at European casinos, rather shaggy-haired with piercings, which always came as a bit of a shock.
A brand new episode of The Last Leg airs on Friday 24th January at 10pm on Channel 4.
