But that didn’t seem to be too much of a problem as the satirist enjoyed his meal without further interruptions.

After his lunch, Humphries, who lives in north London with his actress wife Lizziespender, went shopping in Potts Point.

He paired his outfit with purple pants that matched his blazer, as well as a colorful scarf and brown beanie.
