On Air, Sarah-Jane Honeywell Says She Couldn't Afford to Heat Her Home

The BBC Radio Lincolnshire presenter links current hardship to fallout from a 2011 PETA topless shoot that she says ended her CBeebies tenure.

Overview

  • Speaking on her mid-morning show, she said rising energy costs left her keeping the heating off for an entire winter.
  • She told listeners she hopes by late October to have scraped enough money to pay a heating bill or buy logs for her fire.
  • Honeywell worked on CBeebies from 2002 to 2011 and posed nearly naked on a giant plate for a PETA campaign in Trafalgar Square.
  • She has said the photoshoot led to work drying up, debts of around £100,000, suicidal thoughts, and years of financial strain.
  • She says she discovered she was no longer with CBeebies via a newspaper report stating the BBC said she did not work there.
