Years ago I remember a topic here where it was mentioned that British TV presenter Anthea Turner (who was famously gunged on Noel's House Party) was also pied in the mid-90s. From memory it was on an episode of the UK National Lottery and she was pied by a circus clown. It's been something I've been hunting for since then and have never managed to find it (there were apparently a couple of circus-themed episodes of the lottery but none of the surviving clips show her getting pied.
I'd love to find this scene if it's out there...has anyone got it or ever come across it?
Yes, I vaguely remember seeing it at the time. It must have happened as I was tearing up my ticket as all I remember seeing was a split second of foamy aftermath with the credits over it.
Ive never heard about this. Could this not possibly be a mix up with the generation game intro where Anna ryder richardson and Carol smiley got pretty weak pies?

I remember it clearly and it's not worth seeing. There was zero coverage on her face. Nothing stuck, As well as the Noel Edmonds gunging there was an occasion where she ended up in a bath of baked beans.

No mix up. It happened but there was less coverage than the ARR and CS pies.
