Ex-CBeebies Host Sarah-Jane Honeywell Says She Went Winters Without Heating as Energy Bills Soared

Her on-air admission links recent energy hardship to career fallout from a 2011 PETA photoshoot.

Overview

  • Speaking on BBC Radio Lincolnshire this week, Honeywell said she left the heating off for an entire winter because she could not afford the bills and relied on a log fire.
  • She added that she has not yet ordered logs for this year and hopes colder weather holds off until late October so she can save for heating or fuel.
  • Honeywell presented on CBeebies until 2011, when topless images for a PETA campaign in Trafalgar Square were published.
  • She says she learned of her exit when the BBC stated she no longer worked for them, and she reports that work dried up, debt reached about £100,000, and she experienced homelessness and suicidal thoughts.
  • Now presenting on BBC Radio Lincolnshire and running the Curious Theatre School, she describes being back on her feet, with no new response from the BBC reported in the latest coverage.
