Former Soccer AM presenter Helen Chamberlain has revealed the 'horribly intimidating' sexual harassment she used to suffer from football fans at matches. The 57-year-old Torquay United fan said she used to face regular chants of 'get your t**s out for the lads' and even 'Chamberlain is a lesbian, she takes it up the a***'. The broadcaster, who hosted Soccer AM for 22 years from 1995 until 2017, added that the abuse was 'horribly intimidating' but something 'you just had to deal with'. Chamberlain became known for presenting Sky's light-hearted Saturday morning football talk show which was popular for its fun games and celebrity guests. She was regarded as a pioneer for women in football broadcasting in an era when the men's game was almost exclusively spoken about by men on television. But she said her stardom also attracted a 'a lot of hollering and shouting and stuff' at games, which she felt unable to call out because it would have made things worse.
