"In fifty years of show business have you ever done anything that could have been misinterpreted".
If he says "yes", then we need details and he may have been up to something.
If he says "no", then he risks facing the question how can he be absolutely sure that no one could have have misinterpreted his actions. "Here is Prunella who, when you raised your right arm in 1972 to scratch the back of your head, interpreted it as a preparatory backswing before delivering a blow to her head. But I thought you just said you never did anything that could have been misinterpreted".
I hope the foregoing illustrates that the question was a hostile one.
But not only this, it was sprung on him in the middle of what he may have hoped was to be a sympathetic interview. Morning TV usually is. He had just had charges dropped. He had every reason to expect a bit of sympathy for what he had been through.
The whole interview is not available in that clip, and Freddie indicates that he has already answered the question, so perhaps they chose not to show his answer but instead to show his decision to end the interview, making him appear quixotic and irascible. I didn't see the live broadcast so I don't know.
They certainly know what they are doing, these people. Very manipulative.
Let's hope somebody, somewhere, gives him more of a chance to say his piece. Up to now, however, this is a very clear case of guilty until proven innocent.
Go Freddie, great to see him standing up for himself.
I think by the 'i've answered your question once before' he was referring to the same question in a previous interview. They don't appear to be taking into account at all that the investigation into him has been dropped and he was never even charged.
His response was the right one - and helps show these interviewers for what they are.
She didn't actually 'have to ask' anything, she's not the police, and the investigation against has been dropped due to a total lack of evidence...

She should curl up and die hope Freddie does a UK tour, Jim Davidson is doing a tour from Monday hope it goes well for him.

I think he was quite restrained. For me, the red mist would have descended when she said "I have to ask"
Go Freddie!
The wimpishness of broadcasters now is risible. Jay Leno was on The One Show on BBC1, and said in passing, 'A long time ago, before all old men were paedophiles...' - a very pertinent sarcastic remark, you surely would have thought, but the studio went icily silent as if he'd uttered random obscenities. There's absolutely no thinking going on at all on TV these days, just a desperation not to risk causing offense.

She didn't have to ask anything at all, she should just do what is does best and is flash her fishy knickers.
I know JK would agree..I've met heaps of 'reporters' and presenters over the years and a good many of them I wouldn't trust to park my car.
they seem to get a sense of 'entitlement'- a belief they are terribly important and presenting 'news' or imparting riveting soul searching insights when it's often just frothy gossip that is inane or boring.
