During a live broadcast from Chelmsford’s Hylands Park for BBC Radio 2’s annual event, Vernon Kay, 51, playfully flirted with co-host Michelle Visage, 56, raising concerns about losing his job. Michelle, known for her role on RuPaul’s Drag Race and as a former member of girl group Seduction, was commenting on the hot weather at the park.
Vernon jokingly remarked to Michelle that she always brings the heat, suggesting she send herself a note with his compliment. Aware of the potential consequences, Vernon quipped that he might have just sealed his fate with his remarks, prompting laughter from Michelle.
Meanwhile, comedian Josh Widdecombe, a guest on the show, discussed his performance at the festival and his aspirations to step into Damon Albarn’s shoes. Fearne Cotton was also seen trying to involve others, like security guards, in dancing but with limited success.
Vernon, in good spirits at the BBC event, shared his relief after a stressful period at home. He had recently expressed emotional turmoil over his daughter’s GCSE results, highlighting the importance of these exams in a student’s life.
Reflecting on his own academic struggles, Vernon admitted to his poor performance in exams, emphasizing his belief in the significance of GCSE results. He emotionally recounted watching his daughter receive her results, a moment that deeply moved him and brought tears to his eyes.
