Sue Perkins shares conversations with her partner
The presenter recalled talking to her partner after becoming upset by the news earlier that morning.
Sue told Elizabeth: “I was crying this morning about something. I was talking to my partner and it was like, ‘Why do we read the news every morning?’”
She spoke about a seven-year-old girl in Gaza, before describing the emotional impact of one distressing story following another.
“And it’s not just that, which is horrific in itself, but it’s the compound news story, the one after another. And why do we do it to ourselves?” she continued.

The conversation also covered hobbies, prompting Sue to share what she had been doing with friends the day before.
“Yesterday I was with mates and we were making bread. I don’t make bread,” she said.
Sue explained why the activity had taken on a particular significance.
“My partner’s not very well, and I was very aware that making the bread was such an intense diversionary tactic,” she continued.
Sue added: “So I helped her. And we silently made a very complicated bread.”
