The Welsh presenter, 48, revealed that a guest had been forced to pull out of the show due to a sudden illness. Gerard, 55, was meant to appear on the show to promote his new movie, How to Train Your Dragon. “We’re thrilled that you’re here, Nick, because as we said last night, Gerald… I can’t even say his name, so lucky he’s not here, Gerard Butler was going to be here, but he’s ill, so he couldn’t make it, but you’ve stepped in at the last minute, so thank you very much,” Alex said.
