Huge Hollywood actor Richard E Grant surprised viewers of Ant and Dec's Limitless Win in the show's premiere episode.
The ITV game show saw the hosting pair welcome sisters Tina and Tracy who share they are very close.
Discussing their sisterhood, Dec mentioned how the pair do lots "of lovely things for each other."
As Tracy replied: "Yes, we do. Tina, for my 50th, bless her, wrote me a lovely poem, and it was at the time where 50 Shades of Grey had just been released, and Tina had done her version, 50 Shades of Trace.”

Ant later chimed in to share that they have a copy of the poem and begin to read, however before he can finish Dec stops him.
As Dec says: "I think it would be much better if it was read by one of the finest actors this country has ever produced. An Oscar-nominated actor. Somebody like Richard E. Grant, that would be good, wouldn’t it?."
Before the sisters could get over their shock, Richard E. Grant appeared on screen reading the poem.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
