The show’s host, Michael Drucker, introduced her to the legendary French musician and singer-songwriter Serge Gainsbourg.
In 1986 a 21-year-old Whitney Houston appeared on the popular French variety show Champs-Elysées. O’Leary ended by saying “It’s been really difficult but I’ve really enjoyed it, just ‘cos you haven’t answered any questions.” Morrissey later publicly apologised and said he was in foul mood that day. Morrissey told the presenter “There is just something about your face that says ‘Please lie to me and I will believe you'”, with O’Leary later telling the singer, “(You need to) listen and not just wait for your chance to talk.” In an incredibly forced interview between former Smiths frontman and presenter Dermot O’Leary, the two repeatedly clashed.
