When Channel 4’s Embarrassing Bodies asked us to get involved with the filming of their breast cancer awareness special we thought ‘why not!’

30 Circlers, Tangent & friends gathered for a ‘Think Pink’ night hosted by the rather gorgeous ‘Dr Christian’. 

Circle badges & t-shirts everywhere, we started with a breast cancer quiz – standing on the ‘real’ or ‘falsie’ boobies on the floor depending on our answers.

Then came the hard bit!  The TV company had mentioned that they would like to film us learning how to examine our boobs – without our tops on!  The caveat being this was going to be done ‘calendar girl’ style (well I had to insist!!).  

To our amazement Mandy Vines, Past National President agreed to be examined on camera by Christian then a dozen other girls volunteered to bare all, BUT hidden behind cake stands & gerberas!

It was a some what surreal experience - stood with my circling friends, boobies out, while the cameras did their thing! 

This was a great opportunity to raise the awareness of breast cancer and a fantastic opportunity to get the ‘Ladies Circle’ name out there in the public domain. 

Watch out for us on Friday (26th Feb) at 9pm for our TV debut!
