Sir David Attenborough previously shared the reason why he is “embarrassed” when he is given credit for his popular documentaries.
Presenter and biologist David, 98, is a firm favourite with the nation and rarely off screens, thanks to programmes such as Planet Earth and Natural Earth. For decades, David’s shows have given viewers a glimpse into the nature and animals of the world.
However, David – who is on Life in Colour today (August 18) – once previously confessed to “conning” viewers, and admitted he doesn’t like getting all of the credit.

“But now I just write and speak the words,” he told The Guardian in 2019.
And it turns out David doesn’t like getting all the credit for his work either – admitting he is “embarrassed” by it.
