The One Show hosts Emma Willis and Ronan Keating were left in hysterics after guest Stephen Merchant told a rather racy tale.Comedian and actor Stephen confessed to the rather strange story on Tuesday's programme (May 31).Talking to the hosts about his university days, Stephen said: "I would like to apologise to the people of Coventry, but I got drunk one evening and I climbed on the statue of Lady Godiva."And I got up behind her on the horse and I'll be honest with you but I touched on one of her giant bronze boobs."This was in the 90' when those things were a lot more acceptable."I was not naked, she was, I was not.
A policeman did pass by and told me to get by and I have not man-handled any public works of art since."Host Ronan Keating then said: "Good"."I'm proud of you," Emma Willis said.Stephen continued: "I would like to apologise to Lady Godiva and the people of Coventry.
I'm just glad to get it off my chest finally."Emma then asked the hilarious TV star: "Do you think that incident your brush with the law may have inspired The Outlaws?""Definitely, I went 100% straight after that I've seen all kinds of statues since, after that, I even saw the Statue of David in Florence and I wanted to flick his little winky but I didn't," he joked.The hosts then erupted in hysterics at the comic's remark.
Stephen continued: "So, I'm a clean-living guy but that certainly inspired The Outlaws it's all about justice and confession." Ronan then added: "Well The Outlaws is back for the second series which is all about a group of offenders with minor offences.".
