Inside Graham Norton's €5.8M luxury home of 20 years as it goes on the market

The Irish TV presenter is selling his home of 20 years as he wants to downsize
Graham Norton has put his €5.8M luxury London home on the market.
The presenter has lived at the home in Wapping for 20 years.
It has now gone on sale for a whopping €5.8 million (£4.9 million).
Described by real estate agents Knight Frank as 'a beautifully presented residence' the three-storey home has four bedrooms, four sitting rooms and five bathrooms.
It is 'set in an exclusive and private garden square enclave, that is positioned on the banks of the River Thames in a prime and central Wapping setting.'
The home, which was built in 1811 as a customs office by the London Dock Company, is large with bare red brick in areas, with expensive wood flooring throughout, and its many windows flood the home with light.
It also comes with an adjoining rear two-floor building with double-height ceilings.

A snap showcasing the outside of the home shows the residence tucked away among the hustle and bustle of the city with a large green area in front of it, set against the backdrop of London's famous river and the skyline.
More pictures give potential buyers an exclusive look behind Norton's red front door.
The main living area appears to be located just a few steps up from inside the entrance. It includes large windows, a high ceiling with beams, and large artworks adorned with spotlights.
The perfect spot for hosting his celebrity friends, it comprises a green leather couch opposite two white armchairs with a coffee table on a rug in between.

The dining room, with a large oval table, and plenty of seats, a fireplace, and walls adorned with art, has two large doors that open onto a tiled outdoor area that has plenty of greenery.
Another spacious outdoor area comes with wall-mounted heaters and an awning so you can still enjoy some fresh air even when the weather isn't ideal.
One of the living areas, which is just inside the back door, serves as an airy, yet snug space for reading, with wall-to-ceiling book shelves, cosy armchairs and a fireplace.
More books fill the shelves of another cosy room in the home, alongside two light coloured sofas, cushions, artwork and a large writing desk – a must-have for the best-selling author.

A hidden nook on a lower floor of the home is next to a staircase, with images showing it's decorated with a keyboard and an acoustic guitar.
The well-equipped kitchen comes with a wine rack built into an island, a large American-style fridge-freezer and stunning wood flooring.
One of the bathrooms pictured is white, with a large window and seafoam green tiles, and comes with a double sink with a free-standing bathtub.

Snaps show inside two of the home's bedrooms, one of which features a stunning period-style bed, with a leather bed in the other.
The top floor is occupied in its entirety by the master bedroom.
Norton lives at the Georgian Home in the Pier Head conservation area with his husband of three years, Jonathan McLeod and their black cockapoo, Douglas. The couple now plan to downsize.

Speaking to the Sunday Times, the 62-year-old said he's been thinking about selling the home for a couple of years, and finally feels 'brave enough to make a huge change to my life.'
The 62-year-old added: 'My favourite times have definitely been enjoying a drink sitting by the river on a summer's evening.
'My least favourite memory in the house was that time one of the dogs got stuck in a neighbour's shrub.'

Louise McSharry: Three exciting new Irish beauty buys

Hughes was in town with Dua Lipa's tour – she's been working with the pop star for years. The afternoon was a real delight, as Hughes shared tips and products from her own KJH Beauty line with the group. Everyone in attendance was delighted to be there as we shared work tales and handed products around the table. We were all delighted when KJH applied some of Kash Beauty's excellent Aura Skin Radiant Foundation and declared that it was unlike any other foundation she'd ever tried, while the brand's founder Keilidh Cashell did her best to remain calm two seats away. While it might be assumed that an industry populated by women would be highly competitive and bitchy, my experience of it is the opposite. To me, it feels like a supportive community which is deeply connected to the idea that a rising tide lifts all boats. The growth of Irish beauty brands would certainly indicate that the idiom is true and, with that in mind, I'd like to highlight some excellent new launches in the Irish beauty space. Kash Beauty Miracle Tint (€28 via – Skin tints are all the rage these days, and I'm a huge fan. They offer light coverage, and often other skin benefits. This one offers SPF15 UVA/UVB protection along with Miracle Black, an ingredient which claims to penetrate the skin deeply, stimulating procollagen production. In my opinion, skincare benefits are a bonus with a product like this. You're still going to need a standalone SPF and skincare routine, however, every little helps. The main thing is that this product looks gorgeous, wears well, and comes in a range of 20 shades which is genuinely inclusive rather than being 20 shades of the same white skin tones. SoSu Cosmetics Complete Complexion Palette (€39.95 via – Look, there's no getting away from the fact that this is extremely similar to Makeup Forever's frequently sold-out and hard-to-buy-in-Ireland Skin Face Essentials Palette (€84.75 via but that doesn't mean this isn't a great product. Complete Complexion Palette includes 12 blendable cream products, six complexion shades, four blushes and two highlighters. These can be combined to create a full face of make-up, and the range of complexion shades means you can customise a colour to suit you on any given day (helpful in a country where people frequently need a 'tan shade' and a 'natural shade'). Poco Beauty Universal Solar Glow SPF30 (€55 via – Poco Beauty's Universal Glow Treatment (from €30 via has been a total hit since the brand's launch in 2023, and this new launch was inspired by the OG product. Universal Solar Glow delivers the same nourishing ingredients, but with an added bronze tint and blurred finish so you can look like you just got back from holidays. It's a beautiful product and comes in a large 115ml bottle so you can lash it on your body as well as your face. Buying Irish My favourite way to remove make-up is with a cleansing oil. I find they are most effective at easily cleansing the face of even the most stubborn make-up products. Kinvara Natural Skincare Absolute Cleansing Oil is a great option in this category. Made with 100pc plant oils, this product is gentle yet effective. Simply massage it onto a damp face, with emphasis on any areas where there's a lot of make-up, then remove it with a wet facecloth (hot water please, we're not in the business of torturing ourselves). I keep a pile of inexpensive dark facecloths for this purpose and use a new one each day to avoid the build-up of bacteria. Something old… There's no denying that an effective setting spray will help your make-up survive a long or sweaty day, but they're not all created equally. Some deliver a matte finish, some leave your face feeling powdery, and some are simply uncomfortable. As someone who likes a glowy effect, I'm always on the hunt for a setting spray that doesn't compromise my dewy make-up. Anastasia Beverly Hills Dewy Set (from €16 via has long been a favourite of mine, thanks to its ability to set the make-up and maintain its glow, without veering into oily territory. I love that this product is available in a travel size, in several different scents and, I'll be honest, that the bottle is gold and glittery. I don't think it is the most effective spray on the market in terms of make-up longevity, but I'm OK with that as I don't like the tight, matte finish those products tend to deliver. ... Something new I'm a huge fan of Pat McGrath's make-up brand, and of the make-up artist herself, who is responsible for some of the industry's most exciting editorial make-up looks. One example of this is the doll-like glass skin she designed for Maison Margiela's 2024 couture show. This make-up was incredibly impactful on the runway, but for the average person, it's simply too much. Now, Pat McGrath's brand has launched Glass Skin Setting Spray (€45 via which delivers a glass skin effect that remains wearable (depending on how many layers you apply). One coat delivers a dewy finish and increases the longevity of your make-up, while two or three coats will leave the skin shiny like glass. Ingredients like aloe leaf, cucumber and black tulip extract ensure the product is still comfortable to wear. I'm a fan.

Spooky hit show Wednesday is back on screens for its second series - which was filmed in Ireland.

Rihanna, expecting her third baby in weeks, is no stranger to confectionery-themed fashion, wearing a Haribo Heart Throbs-style red dress in 2016. The pregnant star also showed off her huge bare baby bump while going out for dinner in LA at her favorite eatery. The business mogul, who announced her pregnancy earlier this year, looked ready to pop. Stepping out to head for dinner at her favorite Italian restaurant, Giorgio Baldi, Rihanna put her bump on display. Giorgio Baldi is a "luxurious family-run Italian spot near the ocean" which serves seafood and pasta. While heading out for food at the spot, Rihanna looked sensational in a navy suit, sheer mesh bra and polka dot tie. The mother-of-two wore her navy blazer open at the front, with her bump showing. She wore her hair slicked back, and kept her makeup natural and soft, yet glamorous.
