Pointless host Richard Osman, 48, shared a picture of a message he saw on a mirror in a train toilet. The message read: “Go on give us a smile.” In view of his 780,000 followers, he commented: “This is such a genuinely creepy message to put on the mirrors in a train toilet. Give WHO a smile?” One user commented: “It creeps me out every time.”
A second wrote: “Never going in a train toilet again!”
A third penned: “That actually made me laugh out loud.”
Others shared the odd messages they had discovered in public loos, one which included a sign about a photo competition.
Richard’s post comes just days after he revealed who he would love to see appear on an episode of Pointless.
BBC Radio 1 star Clara Amfo, 34, initially tweeted her 50,000 followers writing: “I am SO SO SO happy for @lizzo.
“She’s BEEN popping but it’s great to see her get this level of recognition and commercial success! Come orrrrn.”(sic)
Richard agreed with Clara’s opinion on Lizzo’s music, replying: “Absolutely love it.”
Clara then replied: “Please get her on Pointless somehow, Thanks!”
“Ha, can you imagine? I’d love that,” Richard concluded.
Last month, Richard addressed the future of the programme after their 10-year anniversary show Pointless: The Good, The Bad and The Bloopers was aired.
One Twitter user tweeted the host telling him she and her daughter loved the show, adding: “Please make more episodes. For the sake of my sanity!”
Assuring her the show will continue as usual, he replied: “We’re about to record another 220 episodes, so don’t panic!”
Another Twitter user shared his thoughts on how they could improve the show.
They commented: “Need to get that prize fund up! A grand for all that effort. The Chase is where it’s at for the cash.”
The host jokingly replied: “It’s your money though.”
Pointless airs weekdays at 5.15pm on BBC One.
