Jackie Crozier, festival director of Manchester Pride, said: “We’re absolutely delighted that the wonderful Graham Norton will be hosting our first ever charity dinner.

“Graham has been a fantastic supporter of Manchester Pride for a number of years now and I couldn’t think of a better person to do the job.”
