I worked on The Big Breakfast - one presenter hated the chaos on set and there's a simple reason we could NEVER make a show like it now
A former The Big Breakfast worker has lifted the lid on the 'shambolic' scenes on set - and the simple reason a show like it could never be made today. Beverley Cuddy is the editor of Dogs Today magazine and has appeared on the show numerous times with canine-related content. The Big Breakfast first aired in 1992, redefining morning television with its contagious energy and chaotic charm. Broadcast live from a real house in East London, the Channel 4 show marked a radical departure from the polished presenters and professional scripts of traditional breakfast shows. Instead, the daytime slot relied on a faster paced, slapstick humour and unpredictable antics to draw viewers in. The show launched the careers of an array of presenters, including Chris Evans, Gaby Roslin, Johnny Vaughan and Denise Van Outen. It also featured appearances from Hollywood A-listers, like Britney Spears, Samuel L. Jackson and Beyoncé. Speaking on behalf of Smooth Spins, journalist Beverley said the show would never work today owing to its 'shambolic' nature. 'It was so wonderfully chaotic and shambolic,' she said. 'Nowadays, you'd have to sign so many releases, and it would be a health and safety nightmare. It was a great time in television, and I look back on it fondly.' Beverley described an incident when her magazine was running a campaign to stop cosmetic tail docking, and the Big Breakfast producers decided to do a 'Rear Of The Year' segment showing dogs' natural tails. 'They had a massive garden, so they encouraged us to invite as many dogs as possible,' she said. 'The night before the segment, the man who ran the actual Rear Of The Year threatened to sue. 'It caused a bit of drama, and we had to scramble around and come up with a new name and rebrand everything.' Beverley told how, once, the producers wanted her to help with a prank on journalist Esther Rantzen. 'She was hosting a lot of shows that celebrated dogs who could do amazing things, so they thought it would be funny if we presented her with a load of dogs who couldn't do anything. 'They also wanted one of the dogs to be a cat, so my deputy Claire insisted her cat Nobby go on,' Beverley continued. 'He was stressed during the journey to the house, so he peed all over her, and then he ran off during the segment. I think Claire got so stressed, so she told the presenter Zoe Ball to f*** off live on air.' But the show bosses embraced the chaos, and Beverley insisted the 'loved it when things went wrong.' 'No one was precious,' she added. 'The presenters were all normal and got on with everyone on set. 'Some of the presenters, like Paul O'Grady and Mark Little, were natural comedians, so they rose to the challenge.' But, according to Beverley, not every brain behind the show was comfortable with the madness. 'Zoe Ball was a bit more of a traditional presenter, so she always seemed a bit stressed when things didn't go to plan.' Of presenter Paul O'Grady, Beverley said the 'kind and genuine' drag queen and comedian was wonderful to work with. 'He was amazing as Lily [Savage, his drag persona] and so quick-witted. If anything went wrong, he handled it like a pro. 'You could tell back then how much he loved dogs, so it was wonderful that he went on to be involved so heavily with them.' When asked what the presenters were like off camera, Beverley responded: 'I went on the show so much that I worked with pretty much all the different hosts throughout the years. Everyone was really lovely and charming.' A special feature of the Big Breakfast show was the London brick house in which it was filmed. An eccentric location for an equally eccentric programme, Beverley calls the filming site 'dingy' and 'grim'. 'I have no idea why they picked that location,' she laughed. 'It was a dingy house and not in great condition. 'It was not photogenic, and the bits you didn't see off camera were worse. It was dirty and certainly not flash. 'I don't ever remember there being space for make-up artists or anything like that. It was cramped, and there were so many windows that they probably affected the lighting. The location made everything harder.' Beverley remembers one of the more memorable segments from the show where the focus was dogs that look like real people, based on a feature her magazine had run. 'The Big Breakfast loved it, so we were tasked with finding dogs that looked like the presenters. 'We found a red Griffon Bruxellois that looked like Chris Evans and a beautiful Afghan Hound that was Gabby Roslin. 'We brought the dogs to the house and, during an ad break, the dogs took the place of the presenters. They all behaved amazingly well. 'We also did this wild segment around the time of a general election, where we had to ask everyone at Crufts how their dogs would vote. 'We had a ballot boxer, which was a ballot box in the shape of a dog, and we invited politicians to be interviewed and tell us their dogifestos.' Beverley's time on the show was not without its star-studded moments. For one competition segment, she was on a judging panel with 'someone from Pink Floyd', and the host was Paul O'Grady as Lily Savage. And The Big Breakfast even saw young stars before catching their big break. 'I'm not sure if our paths crossed on The Big Breakfast, but Tom Hardy was on the show as a young model and must have seen our segments because he reached out and was desperate to get his dogs in our magazine,' Beverley remembered. 'None of us knew who he was at the time, but he'd call us every week. We kept fobbing him off, but then we agreed to let a work experience girl interview him. So that was Tom Hardy's first big interview.' It was not all glamour behind the scenes, Beverley says, and the guests were subjected to an experience as 'dingy' as the house. 'Some shows have green rooms, but The Big Breakfast had a rather dingy portacabin we were all crowded into. 'It was quite shabby. There was no hierarchy, and you were lucky if you had a cup of tea.' Among the eclectic mix of presenters, though, things were good. Beverley said Gabby Roslin and Chris Evans were 'so close.' She added: 'They were practically like brother and sister, and you could tell they really worked well as a pair.' As for Beverley herself, who became involved with the show through her friendship with newsreader Peter Smith, she got on best with presenter Chris. 'We still talk even now,' she said. 'Funnily enough, he reached out to me a few years after he'd left The Big Breakfast because he'd got a dog who became ill and sought the help of a vet who was doing pioneering surgery. 'He was so impressed, he asked me if Dogs Today would interview the vet. That vet turned out to be Noel Fitzpatrick, aka the Supervet. So that was a nice start to his now amazing career.'

'She loves me for me', reveals the champion runner LEGEND POPS QUESTION Double gold Olympic medal winner gets engaged – three years after coming out as gay Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) DOUBLE gold Olympic medal winner Dame Kelly Holmes is engaged – three years after coming out as gay. The former athlete popped the question to her girlfriend, massage therapist Louise Cullen, earlier this year. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up An insider revealed: 'It's a lovely happy ending after she spent years thinking she was going to be arrested for having gay relationships while she was in the Army. "It was at a time when homosexuality was still illegal for serving troops.' The pair have been dating since 2021 after meeting on an online fitness community set up during the pandemic. Opening up about the relationship two years ago, Kelly said: 'She loves me for me. I'm just happy.'

Last year we revealed how Dame Kelly's struggle with coming out as gay led to her feeling at a total loss - wondering how she could ever go on. The champion runner said she thinks she would have won even more gold medals if the decision hadn't taken its toll on her mental and physical health. She told Virgin Radio host Steve Denyer: 'I had a night where I decided to live or not. 'Over the years I'd been a self-harmer and that night I nearly just thought I'm going to give up. "I struggled very, very hard that night to keep myself in bed because I knew what would have gone down.' Olympics legend Kelly Holmes opens up on her struggles with coming out as gay

Is my boyfriend a freak, or is his kink simply too freaky for me?
Every Saturday read our new, even racier, Dear Deidre advice column only in Sun Club... DEIDRE AFTER DARK Is my boyfriend a freak, or is his kink simply too freaky for me? Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) 1 DEAR DEIDRE: I'VE always liked a bit of rough, but I think my latest boyfriend's preferences may be too extreme for me. When he first told me he was into CBT I thought he was talking about counselling. Then it quickly became apparent that he wanted me to kick him in the balls. We've been together for four months and our sex life has been so exciting. He loves me dressing up in sexy underwear and high heels. The first time he asked me to dominate him was thrilling. I walked all over his back - in my stilettos and afterwards we had the most intense sex I've ever experienced. I knew I was in for a kinky ride the first time I saw him naked. He has a ring at the end of his penis which he told me would give me the best orgasms of my life - he wasn't wrong. I'm 44 and he's 46 and we get on just as well out of the bedroom as inside it. The attraction between us is insane but I'm concerned I've reached my limit since he explained he wants me to hurt him down below. I mean how do you get pleasure from that? He says he's had two relationships where his exes were happy to participate and that they enjoyed the sense of dominance and control. He's asked me to try it just once to see if it is for me but I'm too nervous to even go there. Dear Deidre on relationships, jealousy and envy What if I seriously injure him? I know he says there is a strong bond between pleasure and pain but his requests are making me feel extremely uneasy. He has lived with anxiety his whole life and says that letting go in the bedroom is one of the few pleasures that give him a real break. So far I've avoided what he calls 'ball play' but I can tell he's not going to let up. What should I do? Give it a chance or run for the hills? DEIDRE SAYS: To start off no one should do anything sexually they are not comfortable with. So if this suggestion is something that churns your stomach and you simply can't face it then you need to be honest with your boyfriend. Discuss if there is a compromise. You clearly have a lively sex life as it stands. Does he need this to get satisfaction or is it simply an option he enjoys? Ball play is better known than you may realise. And while of course there are obvious dangers, devotees say they experience intense pleasure from the practice. For some CBT is about constriction of the penis or testicles, for others it's about inflicting pain on the penis or testicles. If you decide you do want to try the practice, be very clear about your limits and ask him about his. Make sure you have safe words and go slowly to begin with and carefully monitor any reactions. My support pack Kinks And Fetishes explains more. Dear Deidre's Fetish Files Deidre's mailbag is bursting with kinky sex problems. One reader struggled to look past her husband's hosiery fetish, while another discovered his interest in cuckolding after his girlfriend's infidelity. And one woman discovered her husband's affair with a woman on a fetish website.
