Taskmaster's Sophie Willan may have just taken the top spot for the weirdest place to have sex in as she admitted having been caught in the garden of children's show Blue Peter.
The comedian appeared on Greg Davies' panel show Never Mind The Buzzcocks, explaining she and her boyfriend, fellow comic Jonny Pelham, were surprised in the throes of passion during a boozy night out in Manchester.
"It was a full moon, I'd drunk a lot of Guinness," Sophie said. "There was a big shrub we thought would be a good spot."

Unfortunately, it seems the shrub wasn't as good as spot as she had initially thought, as it was fully visible on CCTV.
"The security came over on those little scooters and said, 'We can all see you in the studios on CCTV'," she continued.

"I never got a badge," Sophie finally said, referring to the Blue Peter awards given out to viewers appearing on the show. Co-star Jamali Maddix replied: "They should have presented you with a Blue Peter Badge."

Willan, who took part in Taskmaster season 17, is the creator and titular star of critically acclaimed sitcom Alma's Not Normal, partly inspired by her own experiences growing up in the care system in Bolton.
The series also stars Bridgerton star Lorraine Ashbourne as Alma's grandmother Joan Nuthall and Death in Paradise's Nicholas Asbury as Jim.
Strictly Come Dancing's Jayde Adams features as Alma's best friend Leanne, Downton Abbey's Siobhan Finneran as Alma's mum Lin and Waterloo Road's James Baxter as Alma's ex-boyfriend Anthony.
Alma's Not Normal season 1 and 2 aired on BBC Two and are available to stream on BBC iPlayer now.
