Vanessa Feltz brands Miss Piggy an absolute ‘b***h’ in wild confession

Up Next

Vanessa Feltz revealed her worst-ever interviewee in a shocking claim, branding the legendary Miss Piggy as an absolute ‘b***h’.

While on Sunday Brunch on October 27, the 62-year-old journalist slammed The Muppets star as ‘worse than Madonna’ after an interaction in 1996.

Miss Piggy is infamous for her diva antics but 27-year-later remains one of the worst interviewees Vanessa has ever faced.

The Muppets, including Kermit and Gonzo, joined Vanessa in the Big Breakfast bed ahead of Treasure Island but the interview was quickly derailed.

After seeing the throwback picture of them all, Vanessa shared: ‘Oh that’s Miss Piggy… Miss Piggy was an utter beep!’

Presenters Tim Lovejoy and Simon Rimmer burst into laughter but the This Morning star, who was promoting her new autobiography, was being deadly serious.

‘Miss Piggy was unforgivably….’ Vanessa continued before stopping to spell out ‘b***hy’ as she didn’t want to swear on the breakfast show.

‘She was shocking! Apologies but she was, she was absolutely nasty beyond belief!’

Vanessa had made the mistake of turning to ask questions to Kermit and Gonzo first, offending Miss Piggy in the process.

In the clip, Miss Piggy snaps when she is finally asked a question and ends up insulting Michelle Pfeiffer as Vanessa tries to reconcile with her.

The Muppets actress then yells and berates the presenter for giving the plot away as the interview is reduced to a serious scolding.

The puppeteers were ‘lovely’ according to the former Celebs Go Dating star who called Frank Oz ‘the most delightful man’ — making it all the more jarring when Miss Piggy took over.

Vanessa added: ‘He climbed into the Big Breakfast bed and suddenly transformed into this incredibly aggressive pig! It was just hooking.

‘It was one of the most difficult and combative interviews I’ve ever done in my life. Only Madonna came close … also difficult.’

She went on to share that Madonna had been incredibly stand-offish when the interview first started after being ‘seven hours late’.

Madonna was promoting Evita at the time but was in a ‘foul mood’ with a ‘horrible, nasty posse’ surrounding her at the press event.

Vanessa was not impressed as she had missed her chance to pick her children up from school, branding it ‘bad manners’.

Thankfully the Material Girl legend ‘thawed out’ in the six minutes Vanessa had to chat but her initial behaviour left a lasting impression — not quite as bad as Miss Piggy though.
