The Confession of Konnie Huq

Stephen Mangan’s comedy chat show about shame and guilt.

Stephen Mangan invites a different eminent guest into his virtual confessional box to make three 'confessions' to him.

This is a cue for some rich and varied storytelling, and surprising insights as their confessions are put under the microscope. Settle back for a stimulating journey through the realms of shame, regret, guilt and toe-curling embarrassment

Stephen talks to Konnie Huq, broadcaster, writer, children’s author and the longest serving female Blue Peter presenter. This ambassador for The Prince’s Trust and the British Asian Trust describes herself as a ‘goody two shoes’.

So what, if anything, is troubling her conscience?

They discuss cheating, indiscretions involving ice cream and a misdemeanour in 10 Downing Street.

Written and presented by Stephen Mangan.

With extra material by Nick Doody.

Producer: Frank Stirling

A 7digital production for BBC Radio 4, first broadcast in 2021.
