Jonathan Ross ‘terrified’ of ‘possessed’ doll in basement covered in his blood

Jonathan Ross feared a toy doll in his basement was possessed.

The telly host pricked his finger to anoint it with his blood when he was a youngster, but then he was freaked out when he was left alone in the cellar with its illuminated face. Ross, 63, said: “I spent a bit of time in the basement – the basement is where I kept my model kits.”

“I had two model kits and one of them was a glow in the dark Phantom of the Opera, which being a young boy interested in horror and supernatural, when I painted him up, I put a prick of blood from my thumb in the paint, thinking it would make it somehow special.”

The chat show king told the Walking The Dog podcast that he later ended up “truly terrified” after later facing it in the dark. He explained: “Then I was down there once in that summer, about ‘73 or something, I must have been 11 or 12, and there were power cuts and this cellar had once been a coal bunker. We had a house where you could put coal in from the olden days.”

“It was pitch black in there and the only thing I could see was his glowing face, because he had a glow in the dark head, and I thought, ‘Oh my God, I put my blood in him! Something’s going to happen! I didn’t know what, there was a non-specific fear.”

“I stumbled and tried to get up the stairs out this coal shed and once you get out into safety of the house, you felt fine, but it was genuinely the first time in my life I’ve ever felt truly, truly terrified.”

This isn’t the only bizarre confession Ross has made throughout his career. The TV presenter admitted he’s taken a number two in his garden for a very obscure reason.

Jonathan confessed: “Do you mean when I weed in the garden or when I pooed in the garden? It’s actually desirable because you have to mark your territory.”

While speaking on the podcast, his daughter Honey chimed in: “He claimed he was doing it to make the dogs feel more comfortable, but honestly he was doing it on his own time for himself.”

Ross then defended himself by saying: “If you’re going to poo in the garden, leaves are nowhere near as absorbent as you might hope when it comes to wiping up. That’s all I’m going to say.”
