Stephen Mangan claims a royal passed wind at a plush event he was hosting - and John Bishop believes he's rumbled the culprit.
Actor and author Mangna appeared on Bishop's ITV show alongside Eurovision 2023 presenter AJ Odudu and comedian Seann Walsh as the conversation turned to awkward mishaps in a working situation.
Funnyman John was keen to ask his celebrity guests if they had experienced any eye-opening moments and Stephen pulled out a show stopper.
He told a grim tale about a member of the royal family farting at a lavish awards bash he went to.
Stephen recalled: "I had one incident when a member of the royal family was presenting an award.

"I just thought 'that can't be? Royals don't," the 54-year-old went on.
"Then about 30 seconds later I was like 'oh. Yes'."
AJ just wasn't happy for him to leave everyone guessing. "Who was it!" the presenter demanded to know.

Host John appeared convinced and chimed in: "So, how big were the ears?"
Elsewhere on the show presenter AJ spoke about her big opportunity as the 34-year-old discussed her new role as a Eurovision host.
Earlier this year, it was confirmed that AJ would be reuniting with Rylan to host the Eurovision Handover and Allocation Draw.
This year’s Eurovision Song Contest will be held in Liverpool in May.

ITV)The Split star Stephen last year opened up to the Mirror about losing his mum to cancer when she was just 45 and how it made him pursue his acting dream.
The star, whose dad died at 63 from a brain tumour, credits the early tragedy for pushing him.
Stephen said: “I had never really considered [acting] as an option, but it gave me the courage to try it because, frankly, it was such a wake-up call that I might have maybe only 20 more years.”

He added: “It had a huge impact on me. You start to think, is that something in our family? Is that going to be my story?
"What’s going to happen to me? That can be terrifying.”
He reveals the medic told him: “Unless you have your mum’s bowel cancer – that is possibly a hereditary thing, possibly not – then you have no greater chance of dying from cancer than anyone else.”
