On the current affairs show, Broad regaled the presenters with memories of meeting the legendary Jonah Lomu when he came over to Wales a decade ago.
Broad said: “As a proud Welshman, back in 2007, ten years ago I was very fortunate to meet the late, great Jonah Lomu.
“He came over and gave up his own time to play in a charity match for a local charity in my home town in Aberavon and we went to see him. What a gent. My favourite All Black without a doubt.”
Rugby-mad Broad, who even had his wedding on a Monday so that it would not clash with a game, then showed off his singing skills with an impromptu performance.
Getting the studio audience involved, he launched into a rendition of Delilah, to the shock and awe of the presenters.
