LONDON Hughes started out her career as a CBBC children’s presenter and claims they would all go wild downing booze behind the scenes.
The comedian said she once got so smashed at work she threw up in the studio.
London, 30, lifted the lid on what life is really like as a kids TV host, revealing the talent would get drunk on free booze at raucous parties.
The former CBBC presenter spent two years hosting the morning show for the BBC’s children’s channel.
And off-camera the stars happily downed free booze with Blue Peter presenters and even vomited on the One Show sofa.
London also claims BBC bosses would put on free drinks every Thursday in what they called “wine Thursday”.
Speaking to Richard Herring on his Leicester Square Theatre Podcast, she explained: “CBBC is crazy.
“I got stories, now that I’ve left, I can say what I want. There’s so much stuff that goes on there.
”They have the best parties – Blue Peter parties, oh my God. Free bar, everyone throwing up on the One Show sofa, it’s mad.
”I didn’t start drinking until I became a CBBC presenter. Literally they all say ‘it’s wine Thursday, what you drinking?’
”And I’m like babes i just want a lemonade.
”And they go ‘down it. down it’, then I’m on live TV going ‘coming up next is Scooby Doo’.
”It’s crazy, but it’s a lot of fun and taxpayers pay for that sh*t.” I loved it. Best job ever.”
