Chloe Petts: “I’d Be a Corrupt Referee”

Please Don't Take Me Home

Show Notes

Comedian, Taskmaster contestant and lifelong Crystal Palace supporter Chloe Petts joins Piers Hewitt and Jim Daly to celebrate FA Cup glory, mysterious Roy Hodgson sightings and living on a desert island with Paul Scholes.

Chloe explains why she trained to become a referee before deciding the job required too much “cop energy” and reveals how corrupt she would be if asked to run the line at Palace.

She also relives the overwhelming emotion of watching Palace finally win the FA Cup, remembers the Arsenal defeat that taught her about boundaries and self-esteem, and Jim tells us about the goalless away day that ended with Bovril running down the back of his white T-shirt.
