Graham Norton has received significant praise from fans for reportedly intervening during an uncomfortable interview moment with Jodie Turner-Smith and Taylor Swift on his chat show last week.
During Thursday’s episode, both stars joined the iconic red sofa alongside guests Cillian Murphy, Greta Lee, Domhnall Gleeson, and Lewis Capaldi.
As Taylor, 35, began promoting her new album, The Life Of A Showgirl, she discussed reclaiming the rights to her music and her engagement to NFL player Travis Kelce.
However, a Swift fan present during the filming claimed there was an awkward segment that was edited out of the episode before its broadcast.
Sammie Nicole took to TikTok to share a video revealing what happened behind-the-scenes and several funny moments that viewers didn’t get to see.
According to the fan, discomfort arose when Turner-Smith, 39, questioned Swift about future baby plans with Kelce, prompting Norton to intervene.
Allegedly, during her appearance on The Graham Norton Show, Taylor Swift faced a query from Jodie Turner-Smith about having children (as depicted).

But one Swiftie sitting in the audience when the show was filmed, has alleged there was an awkward moment cut from the episode involving Jodie (pictured)
She explained: ‘This is a big one. When I was watching it I was like “Oh, they cut that out!” Which I’m not surprised that they did.
‘There was a part when Graham was talking to Taylor about the upcoming wedding and planning it, and one of the other guests, Jodie, said to Taylor, “And what about babies?”
‘Now I know what she meant, she was asking Taylor, “Are you going to have babies soon?” But Taylor thought she was asking if babies were coming to the wedding, so Taylor went, “Oh no under-18s are coming, just adults!”
‘I feel that should have been the end of it, but it wasn’t, because Jodie then said, “No, no I mean are you going to have babies?”‘
Sammie was quick to criticise the alleged question, saying it was inappropriate especially in front of an audience and cameras.
She said: ‘I was like girl? First of all you don’t ask someone that, you should know better than to ask that. Especially on a television show, like she’s not going to answer that for you.
‘I just felt really uncomfortable when she said that. A, she might not want kids; B, she might not be able to have kids; and C even if she can and will, it’s none of your business. Don’t ask someone that.’
However, she claimed that Graham was the consummate professional, quickly interrupting to steer the conversation on.

She recalled: ‘Anyway, Graham was so on top of it. Instantly he went, “That’s an off-camera conversation to have.” And then they moved on. So that was a big one that got cut out.’
Daily Mail has contacted representatives for both Jodie and The Graham Norton Show for comment.
TikTok users were quick to praise Graham’s smooth hosting skills, while levelling criticism towards Jodie’s alleged question.
They wrote: ‘Really glad Graham jumped in on the babies question because it is inappropriate, ESPECIALLY on a tv show. I can’t believe she asked that’;
‘Why did she think it’s appropriate to ask such personal question is beyond me’; And this is why the industry and public just LOVE Graham Norton.’
‘Good on Graham for immediately not allowing that question to be humoured for even a second’.
‘Omg thank god for graham stepping in like that wow, gained a lot of respect and appreciation for him and the show for knowing that wasn’t ok and cutting it off right away.’
During the show, Taylor teased her upcoming nuptials, as she revealed fans ‘will know’ when she ties the knot, but was putting the wedding off until after she’s finished promoting her new album.

Kicking off the promo trail for her new album, The Life Of A Showgirl, Taylor opened up about buying back the rights to her music and recent engagement to NFL star Travis Kelce (seen)
She said: ‘You’ll know. I want to do the album stuff first, and the wedding is what happens after in terms of planning. I think it will be fun to plan.’
She proudly showed off her 10-carat diamond ring from Travis, which reportedly cost between $700,000 and $1,000,000, and shared the story of how he proposed to her in August.
The singer explained how he kept her distracted while setting up elaborate floral decorations in his garden, to ensure the proposal was a complete surprise.
She recalled: ‘So he really crushed it when it came to surprising me. Because we had actually filmed a podcast episode — he has a podcast called New Heights.
‘And meanwhile, behind his house, he was having the whole back garden turned into this,’ she said as she gestured to the photos showing the over-the-top, romantic display of flowers where he would ask her to marry him.
‘And one of the things that he put in there very strategically was a wall of hedges that weren’t there before and inside the hedges was my tour photographer hiding in bushes that had not previously been there,’ she said.
As for how she felt about their intimate, low-key proposal at home, Taylor gushed: ‘He went all out. Ten out of ten.’
While she added how pleased she was that he made sure their engagement would be captured on camera, saying: ‘It’s really fun that we actually have the exact moment.’
