BBC viewers cringe at Kemi Badenoch's 'fields of wheat' moment
Tory leader Kemi Badenoch opened up about snitching on a fellow student, who was cheating on his exams, while at school in a BBC interview - and viewers have slammed the politician BBC viewers have cringed their way through Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch 's latest BBC interview after the politician made a candid admission about her school days. The 45-year-old sat down with BBC presenter Amol Rajan to speak about her life and career - however, there's one particular anecdote of Badenoch's that left fans baffled throughout the hour-long programme. Speaking about how she despises rule-breaking, Badenoch admitted that when she was "about 14 or 15", she stood up in an exam and accused a boy of cheating. "That boy ended up getting expelled," she said. "I didn't get praised for it. I was a relatively popular kid at school, and people said, 'Why did you do that, why would you do it?' I said, 'Because he was doing the wrong thing.'" It comes after Nigel Farage unveiled an ex-Tory who made racist remark on WhatsApp as its newest defector. BBC viewers quickly took to social media to slam Badenoch's confession, with many labelling it her 'field of wheat' moment - referring to the interview in which Theresa May said in the run-up to the 2017 election that the naughtiest thing she ever did as a child was "run through the fields of wheat". "@KemiBadenoch I think I prefer @theresa_may, running through the fields of what," one viewer wrote. While another said: "It's a mystery why Kemi Badenoch isn't popular with the electorate..." A third viewer said: "Whoever is advising Kemi Badenoch hates her." A fourth added: "Who is advising Kemi Badenoch. No way she is winning PM with the way she has been moving." Elsewhere in the interview, Badenoch revealed that she lost faith in God after Austrian man Josef Fritzl 's horrific crimes came to light. Fritzl kept his daughter imprisoned underneath his home for 24 years. Badenoch said: "I couldn't stop reading this story. And I read her account, how she prayed every day to be rescued. "And I thought, I was praying for all sorts of stupid things and I was getting my prayers answered. I was praying to have good grades, my hair should grow longer, and I would pray for the bus to come on time so I wouldn't miss something." She added: "It's like, why were those prayers answered, and not this woman's prayers? And it was like someone blew out a candle. I rejected God, not Christianity. So I would still define myself as a cultural Christian."
