Alan Titchmarsh shushes Lulu over hair comment
Alan Titchmarsh's Sunday morning show on ITV took a Halloween twist on October 27, with an episode that originally aired back in 2023.
The programme quickly turned lively when his guest, the legendary Lulu, began to stir things up within minutes of her appearance, prompting Alan to 'shush' her shortly into the show.
Joined by Sandi Toksvig, the trio kicked off with an obscure nod to Val Parnell, leading to Sandi confessing her lack of singing talent.
Lulu then encouraged Sandi to bring her along to perform with the London Gay Men's Chorus, eliciting a humorous response from Alan: "I've just become Val Parnell. I've just become an impresario. Keep it together!"
Despite Sandi's comeback, "Nobody remembers Val Parnell!" Alan was confident his audience's "age group" would recall the name.
He even made a light-hearted comment about another showbiz figure, Bernard Delfont, saying, "I modelled my hair on Bernard Delfont!" to which Lulu playfully agreed, leading to Alan's jesting "shush" and a warning, "Do you want to be asked back?"
The banter was met with laughter from Lulu, but Alan smoothly transitioned to the next part of the interview.
However, not all viewers were amused by Lulu's antics, with some expressing their displeasure on social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter).
One user lamented the singer's frequent appearances: "It's another day so of course Lulu is on ITV", reports the Mirror.
Another viewer expressed their discontent: "Mrs 007 loves Alan Titchmarsh Sunday show but switching off as can't stand the woman known as Lulu. I'll just go to Concorde Alpha Charlie."
ITV has confused fans by declaring the episode a repeat from last year, leaving viewers scratching their heads.
"I'm confused!" one viewer posted online. "They said it's a repeat from 2023, but the guests are talking about things happening this year and they're featuring the new guide dog??? Doesn't seem like a repeat."
In response, someone joked: "Maybe they're just really good at predicting the future!"
To which the befuddled fan comically retorted: "Ha ha ha! You never know! he had a holiday planned and filmed it a year ahead!"
Love Your Weekend with Alan Titchmarsh airs Sundays at 9:30am on ITV1.
