She explained that she retreated behind the curtain as usual, following her routine from previous nights. However, as she awkwardly lay on the bed this time, a sudden realization hit her. The dreaded moment was approaching rapidly – she was about to have a bowel movement on stage while lying naked on a white sheet.
“So, I go behind the curtain, and I do what I’ve done for nights on end. I have to then lie on this bed, and I lie there really awkwardly and uncomfortably, and suddenly… it’s happening, it’s happening, I’m gonna s— myself, and I’m lying on a white sheet, naked on a stage. So I’m like, oh my god, it’s happening now, it’s happened. I’m convinced I’ve totally s— myself. So I’m like, ‘What am I gonna do?’ Because now I need to get up from behind the curtain and look for all my clothes, and I’m like, ‘I’ve done a f—g poo.’”
