The BBC show Extraordinary Portraits, hosted by comedian Bill Bailey, pairs people who have a notable achievement with an artist to have their portrait painted.

The actor and comedian said he’s nervous from the get-go.

The comedian and actor has been interviewed multiple times by police since an investigation by the Sunday Times, the Times and Channel 4's Dispatches in September 2023 revealed multiple serious allegations against him.

The comedians they tap to host are chosen for their skill at stating uncomfortable truths that need to be said to people in power.

A show in Istanbul by South African comedian Trevor Noah, promoted by Ozkan's firm and planned for 23 April has also been cancelled, with no reason given.
