ANTHEA'S BEAR ESSENTIALS

Anthea has a secret lover. He’s called Brian and has been sharing her bed for years. He’s also a teddy bear. “I remember when I was 18 and having my appendix out, the nurse put Brian the teddy bear at the bottom of my bed as a joke,” Anthea recalled as she curled up on the sofas with Claire and Keith. “They wheeled me in and the anaesthetist obviously thought I was about twelve. And I just remember going to sleep, thinking, when they lift this nightie up he’s going to get a bit of a shock!” During the quiz, Anthea’s love for her furry friend re-emerged. If her house was on fire, what possession would she rescue from it? “My teddy bear, Brian.” “Did you bring your bear with you?” enquired Jack. “No, I didn’t,” replied Anthea. “I always used to take him everywhere but I got so frightened of losing him or something happening to him.” However, Anthea is soon to be parted from her beloved ted. “He’s going into Giles Brandreth’s museum for a little holiday, to meet some other bears.”
