Ross: 'I pleasured myself with a Hoover'

Jonathan Ross has revealed that he once pleasured himself using a Hoover nozzle.

The chatshow host, who made the confession in his autobiography Why Do I Say These Things?, said the experience "hurt like hell".

"I reached for the nozzle, turned her on and gingerly inserted myself into the tube," he wrote. "The suction power of a Hoover is far, far greater than what is called for in this circumstance."

Ross also admitted in the book - released earlier this month - that presenting poor TV shows made him depressed and dependent on drink.
