Paul O'Grady has claimed that Keith Allen used to walk around the Groucho club showing people his genitals.

The chatshow host said he wasn't impressed by the size of Allen's manhood, but admitted he got on well with the actor.

He told Heat: "I've know Keith for years, he's smashing. He always used to get hi d**k out in clubs and say to me, 'Ere, do you want to see the old dead bird?' and I'd be like, 'Keith, I need to get a magnifying glass, the size of that. F***ing put it away'.

"He's stand there with it in his hand in the Groucho club."

O'Grady said that he hadn't seen the Robin Hood star's daughter's new BBC Three chat show, but said he felt sorry for Davina McCall and Sharon Osbourne, who both had little success with the format.

Speaking about McCall's show, he said: "I did Davina's pilot for her. I like her a lot as well. She wasn't given the luxury of a commercial break because it was BBC, and that's a lot to do. It's rough."
