Graham Norton says he was stabbed and Left to Died after a Violent mugging in 1989 as a Drama Student
Graham Norton disclosed that after a brutal assault in 1989 he was stabbed and left for dead.
The 56-year-old chat show host informed The Mirror that after being attacked as a young drama student, he endured a close call after saying it was' touch and go' if he would survive after losing more than half of his blood.
Graham also reflected on the latest epidemic of knife crime that swept the nation, stating that "everyone is a victim" of such a dark assault in some ways.
Graham explained that he was attacked twice by someone with a knife while he was still at drama school, years before he became a national star with his role in Father Ted.
He said: 'They don't trigger anything now. I did have someone pull a knife on me again a few years after the first stabbing but there were people around and it was fine, it was outside a club.
'Somebody wanted money and had a knife. And what's so sad about the knife crime now is that everyone is a victim in the end.
'Because people are losing their lives and equally the kids stabbing people, their life is destroyed for nothing, for this stupid thing because they couldn't get their heads around the consequences.'
Graham's revelations come as he prepares for the long-awaited return of his talk show on Friday, with Jack Whitehall, RuPaul and Helen Mirren taking a seat on the famous sofa.
