Sarah-Jane Honeywell says she was 'naive' to do the shoot but didn't think she'd done anything wrong.

I've never been more annoyed than the time I decided to pose nude for PETA with my hairy arse out for the world to see, only for my then-employer to fire me because of it.

While this is just a soundbite of a horrendous mental image for me, for former CBeebies presenter Sarah-Jane Honeywell, this is actual reality.

Writing on her website, the 42-year-old spoke about how posing nude for a PETA campaign is what cost her her dream job on the children's TV channel.

"I got it all wrong and my naive need for transparency and for living my life with freedom got me the sack," Sarah-Jane said.

"I only have myself to blame, I know that but the children loved me and I was passionate about giving them joy and I stupidly thought that would be enough."

She was also emotional while mentioning her former co-host Justin Fletcher, someone she hasn't spoken to since her departure in 2008.

In 2014, Honeywell also admitted to a massive cocaine habit that left her £50,000 in debt, all while presenting children's television.

The headline when she was exposed was 'CBoobies', which I can't help but smirk at to be perfectly honest.

She continues to work in the entertainment industry as an actress, dancer, presenter and acrobat/aerialist.

So she's doing a bit better than she was a few years back, that's for sure.
