Charlotte Church reacted to an old video of Chris Moyles wanting to steal her virginity.
Kathy Burke, 58, meets some regular individuals with exceptional lives in her latest Channel 4 documentary and listens to their perspectives on being young today and growing older.
Jennifer Saunders, Bill Bailey, Charlotte, and TikTok star Francis Bourgeois are among the celebrities who will appear in the next programme.
In a sneak peek, Kathy talks to the 37-year-old Welsh singer on growing up in the limelight.
‘There was this shift where I became fair game,’ she said.
A clip was shown in which DJ Chris, then 28, said ‘you were gonna be 16 and I offered to take your virginity’.
Charlotte said: ‘Of course, it wasn’t good. At least it was out in the open. That lads lads lads culture was prominent, it was very simplistic, it was unashamed and it was just out there.
‘Whereas now, it’s somehow become a bit more underground and a bit more dangerous.’
At the time, the Broadcasting Standards Commission upheld a listener’s complaint that the DJ’s words were improper.
The BSC Standards Panel stated that while Chris was widely known for his near-knuckle style, ‘the graphic sexual material and comedy had crossed permitted bounds for the time of transmission’.
Charlotte, who rose to stardom as a youngster, described how tough it was to grow up and attempt to live up to the public’s perception of her as pure and innocent.
She told Life Stories host Kate Garraway: ‘All of the normal ways in which we grow and how puberty happens and how girls become women, was stifled and such.
‘I felt I had to be this other eternally young, innocent, you know, little girl and that’s not where literally biological life was taking me.’
Charlotte was compelled to ‘break the links’ with her younger self and her family at the age of 16, after spending half a decade in the spotlight, in order to have a normal adolescence.
‘You’ve got to remember and put me in my context, which is like an impressionable young girl and who’s trying to fit in.
‘So no, there was definitely no conscious rebellion. The only thing I rebelled against was celebrity.
‘My rebellion was: I will be normal.’
She added:‘I will have this life that I’m supposed to have this life of Charlotte and Cardiff with her friends.
‘This whole showbiz nonsense, which is a facade. This isn’t my life.’
