³ÉÈËÂÛ̳

Rihanna, Hugh Grant and Eddie Izzard join Jonathan Ross for this week's Friday Night With Jonathan Ross on ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ One.

Rihanna says she broke her silence about the attack for her fans' sake: "It needed to be said because young girls look up to me... people are scared to talk about it. It can happen to anyone, that's the reason I talked about it. Now I just sing about it, I re-live it."

She says the worst thing was the media scutiny: "That was the thing that made it hardest for me."

Hugh Grant tells Jonathan that he only has himself to blame for still being single: "I should settle down. It's all my fault, I've had some lovely girlfriends."

And he reveals that his recent co-star, Sarah Jessica-Parker eats like a locust: "She's full of surprises. She eats a lot... whatever you put in front of her is gone in five seconds."

He also confesses that he dreads turning 50: "I don't know how to cope with it."

Finally, Eddie Izzard suggests that he might enter politics at some stage: "I want to do that, I've always been a political animal. I'm very positive about Europe, we have to learn to work together."

He also says that he wants Britain to get fit for 2012: "Everyone should be doing more exercise coming up to the Olympics. Just get out there."

There's music from Rihanna and from The Priests.

A Hotsauce TV production.
