James Haskell stunned as date reveals she’s iconic Supernanny child star

James Haskell was left shocked after his Celebs Go Dating match revealed that she once featured in Supernanny as an unruly child.

In 2005, a nine-year-old Meghann Cooke appeared on Jo Frost's parenting programme, where she clashed with the behaviour expert and corrected her pronunciation of the word "unacceptable". The interaction soon became a viral meme.

On Friday’s (15 May) episode of the Channel 4 dating show, Cooke told Haskell that she had featured on the show over two decades ago.

"How bad were you?”, Haskel asked.

“Erm, it's quite a well-known episode,” she tentatively replied.

When Haskel called her an “ill-disciplined little nightmare?,” she defended herself as merely “challenging”.
