To which Jonathan responded: ‘Jeremy, I’ve told you time and time again, I’m not interested in buying any potatoes, you’ve got to stop calling me,’ referring to Jeremy’s business running Diddly Squat Farm Shop.
His response prompted laughter from both Joel and the audience, before they realised that Jonathan had, in fact, hung up.
‘Has he hung up?’ Jeremy asked as Joel looked around awkwardly and the audience erupted into more laughter.
‘There’s a first, Jonathan has hung up on me!’ Jeremy added. ‘Would you like to call Graham Norton? He’s a much nicer man, he’s much nicer, he wouldn’t hang up and he’d probably know!’
