Sue Perkins made a very x-rated confession as she recalled attending the birthday party of a spiritual friend of hers.
The broadcaster, 55, was speaking to Nick Grimshaw and Angela Hartnett on Thursday’s Dish from Waitrose podcast when she told the story.
Sue said she had been invited over to her friend’s house and she had organised for an American Shaman to join them to ‘perform a ritual’.
The former Bake Off host said the group got into the hot tub at four in the morning… before revealing she had an alcohol enema.
‘It was raspberry vodka, that’s all we’d got left, we’d drunk everything else,’ she said. ‘Where he would blow it, a high strength blow into our, into our, into our a***holes.’
Sue added: ‘So, me and my, me and partner stood up, and he was just, he’d drink and then go, pfff, and you just felt this electrifying, electrifying-electrifying burn in your ring piece.’

Recalling the day, Sue said: ‘I went to a friend’s birthday in the middle of nowhere.
‘She’s very spiritual and she said, look, I’ve got John the Shaman here. He’s from the States. He will perform a shamanic ritual.
‘We were all dressed up. He was dressed up very shamanically, he was wearing a sort of grass skirt and had a long sort of pipe, and, anyway, I just thought the shamanic ritual would come at some point, and it did, it came at four in the morning, when we were in the hot tub.’
Sue added: ‘Certainly brought me closer to a sense of myself, if not the universe. And I was thinking, this is weird, but I was, I’m not going to lie, battered.’
She didn’t specify which partner she was referring to in the story but she has previously dated TV presenter Anna Richardson, comedian Rhona Cameron, writer Emma Kennedy and artist Kate Williams.
Elsewhere in the interview, Sue spoke about her love of chess – and how she finds it ‘erotic’.
‘I just love the intensity of it,’ she said of the game. ‘It’s erotic. It is literally like watching the Queen’s Gambit, the show.
‘But an incredibly diverse array of people. When you think of chess, you think of maybe a sixty-five year old white guy, with a sort of dusty sort of collar.

‘Um, no. Chess is hot. Chess is hot. This is what I discovered. They are on TikTok, they’re on Insta, they are whip smart, and they are everywhere.
‘It’s the fastest growing game slash sport in the world and billions of people play it, and…Yeah, it’s hot.’
Sue and her Naked Attraction ex Anna went their separate ways over Christmas 2020 after eight years together and have discussed their transition from romance to friendship last year.
Sue went on to explain how they managed to become friends after their break-up, saying they had to ‘detonate the familiar’ to rebuild their relationship as friends.
The former Great British Bake Off host also stressed the importance of not looking back on previous arguments and forgiving before moving forwards.
She said: ‘You have to sort of detonate parts of the familiar in order to grow new things, different ways of being, which are born out of friendship. And also, you have to forgive what’s been, don’t do history lessons.
‘Once you get that space, the history lessons stop. What I mean by history lessons is in a row you go from talking about the thing that’s upsetting you in the moment to then tracking back through all the other things in your past, that has been points of inflammation.
‘Our break and split and time apart and everything has meant that we no longer do history lessons. We can forgive and just go, it’s all OK.’
Sue said the path to becoming friends was not all smooth sa
