Daily Juice: Sue Perkins Makes Gillian Anderson Squirm With Epic Lesbian Joke

Sue Perkins hosted the BAFTAs this weekend, and cracked a joke we can all relate too.

Introducing the next category, Perkins joked:

Next up we have the award for mini-series. I like my mini-series like I like my relationships; dramatic, intense and with Gillian Anderson in them.”

Lea DeLaria has been talking what’s next for Big Boo and what to expect from the rest of the ladies Orange Is the New Black Season 5. (POP Sugar)

You will be gobsmacked by it, and audiences are going to lose their minds. Season four was on every critic’s list as the number one thing on television last year. . . . So when I say season five is better than season four, people are going to go, “What?” It is. I cannot figure out how we do it or how our writers are able to keep this show so fresh, so interesting, so weird, so unique, so amazing, informative, and life-changing season after season after season. Amazing.”

Master of None star Lena Waithe says she thinks people really love her character on the show, because she’s an anomaly. (Broadly)

I don’t think people really see women that look like her on television. I also think I have a very unique way of walking through the world, a unique cadence, in terms of the way I carry myself. I think people really look at me and appreciate the character which I’m really grateful for, because you never know. … The biggest thing is that there aren’t many characters out there like myself, so I think because it’s me, it’s like a breath of fresh air, which is kind of cool.”

BBC TV Presenter Told It’s ‘Easier’ To Accept Being Infertile Because You’re Gay

Earlier this month Great British Bake Off host Sue Perkins revealed she has been living with a brain tumour for eight years, which has stopped her from having children.

In an extract from her memoir ‘Spectacles’, published in the Sunday Times, Perkins said it “felt like a bereavement” when she found out.

She revealed that her brain tumour consultant asked her whether she had a boyfriend or husband, but she told him she is a lesbian.

He replied:

Oh, OK. Well, that makes it easier. You’re infertile. You can’t have kids.”

Perkins wrote:

Does not a lesbian have a fallopian tube? Am I not human, and [am] I not somebody who could be a lovely, wonderful mother?”

She also said she made a complaint about the doctor in question.

Perkins and fellow presenter Anna Richardson earlier this year revealed that they are in a relationship together.

Sue Perkins Thanks Fans For Support After Revealing She Is Living With A Brain Tumour

Out UK comedian – who presents the Bake Off on the BBC – disclosed that she has been living a brain tumour for the past eight years.

Speaking to Good Housekeeping, she said:

I was at a point where I was spending so much of my life doing TV that I only found out about my real life through a television procedure.

I’m lucky that it’s benign so it’s not in itself a worrying thing. Sometimes it’s big and makes me mad, and sometimes it’s small and is in the background.

Sometimes it screws up my hormones. I have various tests now to make sure the side effects aren’t too onerous.”

She also revealed that the tumour has stopped her from having children, because of its impact on her reproductive hormones.

We live in a time and place where we think everything is possible… I don’t know if I would have gone on to have children. But as soon as someone says you can’t have something, you want it more than anything.”

Tweeting since the interview went live, Perkins said:

The Bake Off star and fellow presenter Anna Richardson earlier this year revealed that they are in a relationship together.

Out Journalist Anna Richardson Leaks Naked Photos of Herself Online For Revenge Porn Experiment

Journalist and investigator Anna Richardson – who is currently dating Sue Perkins of the BBC’s Great British Bake Off –has leaked her own sexy selfie as part of a TV experiment.

Revenge porn has arisen with the ease of people being able to send explicit consensual pictures to each other, which are then uploaded to the internet for public consumption as a form of payback after a break-up.

Talking to the Evening Standard, she explained she wanted to explore the issue of angry exes uploading pictures to the internet without consent, which is now a crime in the UK.

It was a move that she didn’t take lightly.

The women who have been ‘revenge porned’ have been revenge porned without their consent, and they have no control over those images, albeit that it’s their body.

In this situation, I’m taking the pictures, I’m deciding what to do, I’m uploading them, I have control over it. Even though those pictures will be there forever, I think now having met women who have been revenge porned, I feel much stronger about the fact that this is something I should be doing properly.”

The pictures received hundreds of thousands of hits and hateful comments – however, later in the experiment they promptly disappeared, suggesting that the website discovered her photos were not all they appeared to be, but were still allegedly being shared privately by users.

I’ve been absolutely taken aback at the level of depravity that’s involved, the betrayal that’s involved, and also the danger that’s involved. It’s really, really, taken my breath away. Revenge porn is undoubtedly utterly heinous and dangerous, and everybody should be aware of the risks.”

Emily Jones of Channel 4 added:

Five years ago hardly anyone had even heard of revenge porn. In the past year it has made international news, and changed UK law. It has also spiralled in popularity and has the potential to effect anyone who has ever taken an intimate photograph. This programme will serve as a warning, but will also take an intelligent look at how the Internet has changed the way we control our own image.”

TV Presenter Sue Perkins is Back on Twitter: “I’ve missed you”

The presenter made her first Twitter post in four months to assure her fans that she’s missed interacting with them.

Bake Off Series 6 spoiler! Format change means all-new Swimwear Round replaces Showstopper Challenge. (And hello BTW, I’ve missed you xx).”

Perkins quit the social network back in April when she began receiving death threats from angry Top Gear fans, who were apparently furious over rumours that she would replace Jeremy Clarkson on the show – despite the fact that she had previously denied any such offer from the BBC.

The lead presenting job on Top Gear eventually went to Chris Evans.

Perkins is currently dating fellow TV presenter Anna Richardson.

A number of fans tweeted their support for star including her girlfriend Anna Richardson also hit out at trolls, and asked people to tweet their support for Sue with a selfie:

Sue Perkins Responds to the Dinosaurs on Twitter Who Think a Gay Woman Shouldn’t Replace Jeremy Clarkson on Top Gear

Out comic, Sue Perkins, is in the driving seat to take over presenting the driving show Top Gear – being made even odds among the bookmakers.

However, the fact she is lesbian, replacing the male presenter Jeremy Clarkson is causing some concern.

The BBC show is the most watched factual TV programme in the world, and it would be a huge step towards visual representation for LGBT people on television.

But there are those who don’t think Perkins, who also presents the BBC’s The Great British Bake Off – should take the driving seat.

Numerous tweets were sent to the TV star, accusing the BBC of ‘box-ticking’ and that she should ‘stay in the kitchen’.

Perkins, currently filming in Bengal, delivered the perfect response.

Just back from night shoot in Kolkata sewers to find my timeline busy with middle-aged man-trolls. General gist: Man do cars, woman do cake.

Anyway, whatever bullshit is blowing in the UK, I wish you all night night from steamy Bengal. Xx

In March this year, Jeremy Clarkson’s contract was not renewed following an internal BBC investigation. It was found he attacked Top Gear producer Oisin Tymon, splitting his lip and verbally abusing him.

The BBC has repeatedly had to defend Top Gear of accusations of homophobia, with in 2009 a gay couple claiming they had been denied tickets just because of their sexuality.

Clarkson has also referred to cars he doesn’t like as ‘ginger beer’, the rhyming slang for ‘queer’.

Anna Richardson, the presenter of Secret Eaters has revealed that she and Sue Perkins are in a relationship, resulting in the pair trending around the world on social media.

Speaking on the daytime TV show, she said:

We’ve known each other for a few years, we’ve got mutual friends – you know what it’s like in TV, you tend to know people. I was with my boyfriend for nearly 20 years and I’ve known Sue on the circuit, but about a year and a half ago we met at a party and I was recently single and we just… all I can say, there was an understanding between us and for me the planets aligned and I just thought, ‘This person’ – it’s not even about a woman – ‘this person is absolutely extraordinary’.”

Continuing she said:

People become obsessed with sex and just want to know, ‘What is it you do in bed?’… It’s not about that, it’s about the person and it’s about the connection with that person.”

Sue Perkins is a popular TV presenter in UK, who has spent much of her career out of the closet. She is best known for working with Mel Giedroyc on the BBC’s ‘Great British Bake Off’, but the pair will soon be presenting a new daytime chat show for rival TV company, ITV.
