91Èȱ¬

Dev Patel joins Jonathan Ross tonight on his 91Èȱ¬ One show Friday Night With Jonathan Ross, and talks about taking his mum to the Oscars and how he can't believe he's going.

He says: "It's surreal, a roller-coaster. At one point the film was going straight to DVD, there was no hope. Then through word of mouth it became Slumdog Millionaire – the generic underdog story."

He also tells Jonathan how star-struck he was at the BAFTAs: "on the red carpet... with Sharon Stone... I said can someone please slap me – and Sharon Stone slapped me!"

Morrissey performs new single Throwing My Arms Around Paris plus a classic track and surprises Jonathan with a special present.

Actress Emily Mortimer talks about her late father: "I adored him, and I felt adored by him... he said to be a good parent, you never say no."

"[Before my finals] I said dad, will you still love me if I get a third? He said 'I'll love you even more if you get a third!'"

And comedian Michael McIntyre talks about his memories of Kenny Everett: "He picked me up from school with my mum, it was the most exciting thing, I said he was my dad for a long time!"

A Hotsauce TV production for 91Èȱ¬ One.
