Shooting to fame aged just 12, singer Charlotte Church has lived most of her life in the spotlight. While her talent brought fame and fans the world over, the flipside of the Cardiff singer's early fame led to pretty distasteful attention, especially as she approached her later teenage years.
Appearing on Kathy Burke's latest Channel 4 documentary, Growing Up, mum-of-three Charlotte spoke about the shocking comments from former BBC Radio 1 DJ Chris Moyles and her being seen as "fair game" when it came to talking about her sexuality, body, and reaching the age of consent.
In 2002, when Charlotte was just 16, Chris said he wanted to "lead her through the forest of sexuality now she had reached 16" while on air. Speaking on the Channel 4 documentary with Burke, during which the actress and comedian contemplates if she should fight or accept old age and asks if it's easier or harder to be young in today's world, Charlotte heavily criticised Moyles' comments but added that the inappropriate discussion was out in the open whereas now sexist commentary has been driven underground.
