Fielding says the first year of working on the show was a ‘traumatic’ experience that included being forced to live with the Blue Peter dog against her will
TV presenter Yvette Fielding, who made her name as the youngest ever host of Blue Peter, has claimed she was bullied while working on the kids’ TV show. The host, who was 18 when she first appeared on the BBC series, says the treatment she received was so bad that if a young presenter was treated similarly today there “would be quite a few implications”.
“I felt very lonely because I was the youngest. I was considered a kid – and a pain in the arse of a kid,” Fielding told the podcast Celebrity Catch-Up: Life After That Thing I Did. “So I didn’t enjoy the first year. I found it very traumatic.”
