Chatting to Richard Arnold, Baga Chipz joked about how she traditionally celebrates Pride.

She said: “Every Pride, I’m always out in Soho. I’ve got me drink in one hand, I’ve got my ciggie in the other hand and I’m flashing me tuppence to everyone.

“It’s mad, do you know what I mean? I get the odd grope. But I love Pride. It’s a time where I can get a bit of action.”

The comedian then went on to joke about Love Island.

“I think I should be on Love Island,” she said. “I’ve got the body, I’ve got the class, I’ve got the elegance, I’m a very classy lady.

“All the men would have to put pillows over themselves. It’s shocking. It’s true. They’re only human, dear.”

But after putting on an entertaining performance, she took a more serious tone to pay tribute to the original Stonewall riot protestors who led the way for the LGBTQ community.

“It’s not just a celebration, it’s also a protest,” she said. “If it wasn’t for the people before us, we wouldn’t be able to celebrate Pride.

“The first person to throw a stone at the Stonewall Riots was a black woman of colour, a trans woman of colour.

“So we owe it to them more than anything. Celebrate but also remember those before. us.”
