Here's a picture of Micky Flanagan in drag.

The popular comedian can be seen dressing up in Micky Flanagan's Detour de France, which is on Sky1 tonight (17th November) at 9pm.

This week in Episode 3 of Micky Flanagan's Detour de France, Micky's love affair with France heads 'sarf' - geographically speaking. Stopping off in Camargue, he and Noel are thrown into the thick of an annual gypsy festival, before sampling the wares of a cosmic winemaker (the interpreter more than earns her money in this segment) and delving into the eventful love life of an artistic gardener.

The highlight of the holiday, though, is up next when the duo move on to St Remy and the Saint Paul de Mausole, a psychiatric hospital that uses art and music to treat troubled individuals who suffer from eating disorders, various addictions and depression. One of the centre's most famous patients was Vincent van Gogh.

It's a humbling experience that becomes that much more so after a trip to Monaco, home to the world's most tax-efficient moneybags, including former F1 driver David Coulthard, who joins the boys for a bike ride. Then it's a case of all the gear, no idea when Micky makes a splash in Cannes, swinging by a transvestite bar.
