Carrie Fisher ill before TV appearance, says Graham Norton

Graham Norton has revealed that the late Star Wars legend, Carrie Fisher, was feeling ill before her last-ever interview, on his BBC chat show, but continued because of their close friendship.

The 60-year old actress appeared on The Graham Norton Show last December, but died in hospital two weeks later, after reportedly suffering a massive heart attack on the transatlantic flight back to the US.

Norton said Fisher wanted to cancel her appearance on his famous red couch, but decided to go ahead, because she didn’t want to let him down.
