Victoria Derbyshire might be known for her no-nonsense political interviews and sharp current affairs reporting, but it turns out she’s been fiercely opinionated since her school days — and she’s not afraid to get physical over a baked good.
The 56-year-old BBC broadcaster shared a brilliantly British anecdote during her appearance on Would I Lie To You, revealing that she once got into a full-on school corridor clash over how to pronounce the word “scone.” “I once came to blows with someone over the correct way to pronounce the word scone,” she told the panel. “Jane at school asked us all how we pronounce the word scone, so I was 14.”
