Billy to be grilled by his wife

Connolly to guest on Shrink Rap

Billy Connolly is set to be questioned by his pyschologist wife Pamela Stephenson in a special edition of More 4's Shrink Rap.

The comic is reportedly ready to sign a deal to appear on the hour-long show, which is made by Glasgow-based independent production company Finestripe.

Stephenson has already written two books about Connolly: 2002's biography Billy, which revealed his childhood abuse, and the follow-up Bravemouth: Living with Billy Connolly.

More 4 boss Hamish Mykura told trade magazine Broadcast that he was planning a whole evening dedicated to Connolly based around the interview.

Stephenson’s highest profile interviewee so far has been Chris Langham, who spoke about his conviction for downloading child pornography.
