This week's edition of 'Who Are You?' is brilliant!🤣

This week's mystery guest was an absolute children's TV legend, but he wasn't always 100% PG. Find out why here...

This week on The Chris Moyles Show, we were graced with the absolute TV legend that is Ronnie Le Drew.

The famous puppeteer and voice star is known for portraying the iconic character that is Zippy from Rainbow, so it's fair to say he knows a thing or two about kids' TV.

However, one special episode of the hit show isn’t very child friendly at all and it’s littered with lewd one-liners throughout.
