Graham Norton: ‘I’ve left it too late to have kids’

Graham Norton has admitted that he wishes he had started a family.

The chat show host told The Mirror that he “did consider becoming a dad at one time”, but now feels that his time has passed.

He said: “I think I’ve left it a bit late. I’m a bit long in the tooth now. My dogs are my kids.”

Norton split from his boyfriend of two years Trevor Patterson last year.

Last month, Norton spoke out about RTE’s decision to offer a financial settlement to anti-gay marriage activists, describing the decision as “moronic”.

“I’m fucking furious that some of my money has gone to these idiots,” he added.
