Gavin and Stacey's Joanna Page says she was groped by TV host

Joanna Page, known for her role in Gavin and Stacey, has come forward with allegations of being “groped” by a TV host, despite being warned about his behavior. The actress revealed that a female producer had cautioned her that he could be “very handsy” and likely to make unwelcome advances. These revelations were made by Page in her new book, Lush!, without naming the individual involved due to legal considerations.

During an interview discussing her upcoming autobiography, the 48-year-old recounted the distressing incident. “Halfway through filming, he starts groping me,” Page stated. She immediately confronted the perpetrator, expressing, “What do you think you’re bloody doing? I feel like I’m in Bristol Zoo being mauled by the lions.” Following her reaction, the inappropriate behavior ceased. Page reflected on the disturbing situation, noting that it had become somewhat normalized due to the warning given by the female producer.

Aside from her role in Gavin and Stacey, Joanna Page is also recognized for hosting the BBC podcast Off The Telly alongside EastEnders star Natalie Cassidy. Her acting credits extend to films such as From Hell and Love Actually. Page’s bravery in speaking out about her experience sheds light on the prevalence of misconduct within the entertainment industry and the importance of addressing such behavior.
