“His wife was right there, so I didn’t know if I was the only person he’d ever done it to, or if he did it all the time – how could I possibly know?”<\/p>\n
The TalkTV host added that she felt “awkward” due to the Big Breakfast being “a feel good kind of programme” and that she hesitated to make a scene in case she jeopardised it.<\/p>\n
“You don’t wanna suddenly start saying ‘Get off me!’ and jumping off the bed in the middle of that!” she stated.<\/p>\n
She added that she had incurred no lasting damage after the 1996 TV segment as she was “an adult… married with two kids… I was fine”.<\/p>\n

We look back now as women and realize what we had to put up with!”<\/p>\n
