During the 2019 episode, Bean recalled the incident in his wonderful Sheffield accent as one of his screaming fans 'tried to break through the barriers'.
The discussion started when the host asked the celebs on the couch if they'd ever received any strange gifts through the post.
Keegan said she once got an engagement ring sent through, and Gallagher loved the fact he received a record player and some shortbread biscuits
However, Bean's gifts were not on that same level.
"And another one that kind of used to send me pictures of, her face and mine, kind of morphed into one. She says, 'We are one with you are me and I am you'," he explained.
"I did something for this Lord of the Rings PR thing, and she was in the audience, and she tried to break through the barriers, we had to restrain her."
Despite the weird encounter, Bean said he is extremely grateful for his LOTR fans, adding: "They're usually OK, you know, came through and Lord of the Rings is [a big part of their life].
"Yeah, it is, yeah, and, you know, it's a big thing for them, and so that, you know, that's good.
"And they're always very complimentary and mean well."
Swiftly changing the subject, Ross then asked if Bean 'enjoyed getting older', being 60 when the interview aired.
"Yeah, it's all right. I don't really think much about it," he admitted.
"I suppose I got to 60, and I don't know. It's not something you want to be jumping around about, is it?
"You know, you get free prescriptions."
On what he gets up to in his spare time, the Yorkshireman added: "I like staying at home, and I go out in the garden, and I do a lot of kind of landscaping and stuff like that.
"Yeah, I like planting trees. I planted a lot of trees. I've always liked gardening. My grandad, they were a good gardener, but he used to grow crops, you know, like tomatoes and, you know, sprouts and cabbage and stuff.
"He just lived in a normal house, but he made the most of his garden."
