Iain Stirling has revealed he used to rehearse the late Queen Elizabeth's death every year while he was hosting CBBC, and even shared his role in the sad announcement
Comedian and voice of Love Island , Iain Stirling , spilled the beans on his unique experience while working at CBBC, where he had to prep for a rather sombre announcement.
Iain, who graced the CBBC screens from 2009 to 2013 and made a brief comeback in 2015, disclosed that he would practice the Royal announcement annually. He even had a black shirt stashed under his desk just in case. Stuart probed about the specifics, asking, "What would happen? You and the dog singing 'God Save The Queen? " To which Iain responded: "Every time we rehearsed they insisted on having the puppet dog in it, and trying to make that not offensive, which is impossible."
"And then they tried doing him not talking. So I go: 'The Queen's passed away,' and he would be sobbing... If the Queen had died when we were hosting kids TV, what would've genuinely happened was, it would've been me and then they made the dog stand in a corner facing the wall."
