Naked Attraction presenter Anna Richardson was supported by fans as she opened up about her close bond with ex-girlfriend Sue Perkins.
The former couple started dating in 2014 before amicably splitting in 2021. Earlier in the week, Sue, 54, appeared on an episode of Anna’s podcast, It Can’t Just Be Me, where the exes discussed their current relationship.
The duo touched upon whether it’s possible to go “from lovers to friends”, revealing they managed to remain friends after calling it quits during the pandemic. Teasing the episode, Anna took to X and wrote: “SOOOOOO many people have asked me on It Can’t Just Be Me whether it’s possible to stay friends with an ex…so I thought I’d ask the ONE person would know…the magical Sue Perkins.”

The TV presenter began: “Sue, you and I were together for years and years but we have managed to go to actually being very, very good friends. How did we do it, though? How did we manage to get here because we didn’t speak…”
“Yeah, for a long time,” Sue chipped in. The comedian continued: “You have to sort of detonate parts of the familiar in order to grow new things, different ways of being which are born out of friendship.

“And also you have to forgive what’s been. Don’t do history lessons. And I think once you get that space, the history lessons stop. Any by history lessons, I mean, in a row you go from talking about the thing that’s upsetting you in the moment to then tracking back over all the other things in your past that have been points of inflammation.”
The Great British Bake Off star went on: “So I think our break and then split and then time apart and everything has meant that we no longer do history lessons. We can forgive and just go ‘it’s all okay’.”

She concluded: “I think a period of having no contact was good, and then slowly, voicing the things that had been excruciatingly painful and realising that they were never going to be solved, so let them go.”
Fans rushed to the comments to praise the couple for their friendship, with one writing: “Love you both! Nice to see you working together!” A second added: “Lovely to see that you’re still friends.” Another declared: “Life is too short to hold sad and bad feelings.
