Jo Whiley reveals rudest celeb she ever interviewed - 'They made me feel so stupid'

Jo Whiley has revealed the name of the rudest celebrity she's ever interviewed in a jaw-dropping admission. The veteran broadcaster, 60, has interviewed a whole host of stars during her career as radio DJ, which saw her chat to some of the biggest names when she was on Radio One.

However, speaking to fellow presenter, Zoe Ball, on their Dig It podcast recently, Jo, admitted her confidence suffered after chatting to hip hop stars Eminem and Dr Dre when asked if she had ever been starstruck during an interview.

Telling Zoe she was made to feel "stupid" by Eminem - real name Marshall Mathers - she said: "I remember interviewing Eminem and Dr Dre one time and that was horrible. I'd interviewed Eminem when he was very young and he was very shy and polite. He kept calling me "ma'am" all the time and he was really, really sweet and humble. Then a couple of years later he came back on the show but with Dr Dre and the fame had happened and he was just this other creature altogether. They were just so playful with me - and can I just say they made me feel so tiny and so stupid." It comes as Joinsisted she is choosing not to slow down after hitting 60 last month- and reckons big birthday are “not a big deal”.

The mum-of-five admitted that the interview with Eminem was overall "a really unpleasant experience" as she and Zoe chatted about being starstruck by the rich and famous.

The revelation comes after the broadcaster admitted she had been plagued with anxiety at the height of her DJing career in the 90s.

She told Woman's Health: "I remember doing one gig and I was just so scared, I thought I can't go on like this. This is ridiculous.

"It's ruining my life because I'm just such a ball of anxiety.

"But then I realised how happy it was making people when I do these gigs and that was a game changer."

Now 60, Jo is still one of the most sought after DJs in the industry and insisted her milestone birthday, which she celebrated last month, is just the same as any other.

On turning 60 in July, she told Woman and Home: “Another birthday really isn’t a big deal for me because I don’t see age as important.

"t’s something that you very much don’t want to be a thing, but it becomes a thing because everybody focuses on it and asks you about it constantly.

"It’s a bizarre situation to be in because I’m only another year older than I was last year, and a year younger than I will be next year. There’s an obsession with reaching certain milestones due to your age. People focus on it too much."
