Jameela Jamil has claimed she once accidentally orgasmed while DJing in front of 6,000 farmers.
Jamil recalled the incident on the The Romesh Ranganathan Show, where she spoke to the comedian about DJing the Young Farmers Ball. She told Ranganathan that the Ball has “ginormous speakers”, which meant “there was nowhere to put the decks, other than on top of the speakers.
“I’m a sensitive young woman or I was at the time, I was 26 I think and I had to DJ on the speakers but the vibration of the base was you know – awakening something in in my groin area,” she continued.
Though Jamil tried her best to disguise it, it was the huge bass of Dizzee Rascal which pushed things over the edge. She then told Ranganathan that things got so bad that her tour manager asked if Jamil needed her inhaler.
“I’m like, ‘Go away, it’s fine just go away’,” she recalled, “So I have an orgasm and then I think I’ve gotten away with it and I think it’s mildly funny, but then once women pop, we’re like Pringles. We can’t stop and so it happens again.”
The anecdote caused Ranganathan to chime in with: “That’s not been my experience”. Watch the moment below:

We spoke to Jamil at the Together For Palestine concert at London’s Wembley Arena last September.
Organised and curated by Brian Eno, the night featured Jamil as one of its many hosts and raised just under £1.5million for the ‘Together For Palestine Fund’.
The concert also boasted huge performances from Damon Albarn, Paul Weller, Rachel Chinouriri, Yasiin Bey, and more, alongside guest speakers including Eric Cantona, PinkPantheress, Richard Gere, Benedict Cumberbatch, Florence Pugh, and Nicola Coughlan.
Speaking to NME, Jamil told us she thought the concert represented hope that change could come as a result of solidarity and being seen.
“I can’t tell anyone not to feel hopeless in this current climate, but I think that a morsel of hope can be found in the calibre of artists who’ve shown up and aren’t afraid to speak up, say something and do the right thing,” she told us. “I personally felt very moved looking around the room and seeing all the artist that are here like Massive Attack, Portishead, Damon Albarn and all these British legends, and then Eric Cantona who I guess we’re claiming as a British legend now.”
Jamil added: “When you realise the people you’ve looked up to your whole life are actually great and they actually stand alongside the principles you hoped they would, it’s an incredible feeling. I hope music fans feel at least moved by that. I can’t force anyone to feel hopeful, but I know that what we’re doing here tonight is really beautiful.
“Everyone’s here for such a beautiful cause and that fills me with a tiny bit of light amidst this terrible darkness.”
