An Embarrassing True Story

“One day when I was a BBC TV breakfast news presenter, he had a long, friendly chat with a little old lady who’d been invited in to talk about her role as a charity ambassador.

Soon after she left, my colleagues were beside themselves with excitement that they’d met her. It makes me cringe to retell this, but I actually said this out loud:

“Who IS Audrey Hepburn?”

(NOTE: if you ever want me to tell this story – please don’t give away the punchline by saying “Tell us about when you met Audrey Hepburn” Interviewers have done this!!)
