Recounting the shocking story, Stephen explained that "past the age of 45, you need to go to the toilet more" but found himself unable to urinate for reasons he didn't know. "I'm like, Oh, this doesn't feel right" he told the host. "I knew I had to, and then silly Stephen thought, 'Oh, well, if I go back to my seat and I just keep drinking water, at some point it will happen.'" However, he shared that an hour later, when he tried to go again "long story short, all of a sudden I went, but it was just pure blood." Admitting it was "very scary", Stephen reached out to a doctor he already knew was on the plane for advice and help. "Next minute, the doctor comes around the corner, and he goes, Stephen! and I'm like 'Doc, hello!', and I explained the situation. "He had another friend with him, who was a surgeon, so I'm there, and I explain. He's like, okay, and the surgeon, Dr Haji, says, we can work this out." However, Stephen noted that they then sterilised the lounge area between the economy and first class seats, and a catheter is pulled out of an emergency box. When shocked Seth asked if anyone had walked in on him, Stephen thanked the crew on the flight for keeping curtains drawn so he could have some privacy during the sensitive operation. "I drop me kecks, I get on the couch, and he performs a catheter operation there and then," Stephen said, later sharing a selfie he grabbed with the doctors after the op was done.

"I went to the toilet, and it was one of the nicest experience with me and my penis!" he said as the audience burst into fits of laughter, noting after he was done "he came running out like a kid that had just learned to use the toilet". 6 Stephen's work in Adolescence has been praised around the world Credit: AP

Yorkshire restaurant ‘honoured' as Bruce Springsteen and Stephen Graham drop in for lunch
Bruce Springsteen and Stephen Graham posed for a photo with staff at a restaurant in Yorkshire after enjoying a low-key meal together. The musical legend, 75, and the Thousand Blows star, 51, had lunch at Norman's Restaurant in Kirkburton, Huddersfield, on Friday (16 May), after Springsteen performed at Manchester's Co-Op Live the night before. Graham, who has recently earned widespread acclaim for his powerful performance in Netflix's Adolescence, will star as Springsteen's father Douglas in Deliver Me From Nowhere, the upcoming biopic starring Jeremy Allen White as the musician. Norman's shared a photo on Instagram showing Springsteen and Graham smiling alongside the restaurant team. 'Absolutely honoured to have these two absolute legends over for a spot of lunch,' the caption read. 'Can think of worse ways to start the weekend!' Restaurant owner Ollie Roberts told the Daily Mail that the staff 'were useless after [Graham and Springsteen] left, because everyone was just kind of floating around in a half daze'. 'Stephen Graham was the one everyone was excited about, but I think that's largely because, how do you get your head around Bruce Springsteen coming for lunch?' Graham has previously spoken about Springsteen's reaction to his portrayal of Douglas, telling Soundtracking podcaster Edith Bowman that the Boss sent him 'the most gorgeous texts I've ever had in my life' after watching him perform. 'His text just said, 'Thank you so much. You know, my father passed away a while ago and I felt like I saw him today and thank you for giving me that memory,'' Graham revealed. 'And I was crying reading the text, do you know what I mean? It was beautiful. You couldn't ask for anything more.' Springsteen hit out at Donald Trump several times throughout his debut Manchester gig on Wednesday (14 May), claiming that the United States is 'currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent and treasonous administration'. His statements prompted a rant from Trump on his social media platform Truth Social, in which the president slammed the 'highly overrated' Springsteen as 'a pushy, obnoxious JERK' and 'a dried out 'prune' of a rocker'.
