Journalist and television personality Vanessa Feltz appeared on Michael McIntyre's quiz show The Wheel on Saturday, November 26, as a celebrity expert on the topic of literature and rather than unveiling some literary facts, she recalled a sour meeting with pop icon Madonna, calling the singer "foul".
It came on the same show that contestant Jonathan, a waste management business owner, took home the largest sum the show has ever paid out. The show sees contestants guided by celebrity experts answer questions in the hope of winning money. Jonathan was tasked with a question on American drag queen RuPaul.
It read: 'When RuPaul was asked how he created his drag persona, which of these was NOT in his description?' The choices were 'A dash of Dolly Parton', 'A pinch of Madonna', 'Two parts Cher' and 'Three parts Diana Ross'. Beginning to answer this, Vanessa, 60, said: "Interesting, I mean looking at RuPaul and the amazing persona and the great diva he is, how could he not be channelling Cher? How could he not be chanelling Diana Ross?"
