“Not what I was expecting,” acknowledged actor and comedian Jack Whitehall, who was guest-hosting the show in place of Norton, who is covering this weekend’s Eurovision song contest.

“It’s true,” said Christie, who cited the anthropomorphic red fox’s “huge tail” and “strong teeth” as a turn-on.

“That’s what I look for,” she joked.
