Joe Calzaghe helped kick-start national anti-bullying week by appearing in a Newsround special that highlights the problem of bullying of children and young adults.
Broadcast on BBC One on Monday 16th November at 4.55pm, ‘Whose Side Are You On’ is a factual drama looking at the side of bullying that people don’t normally think about: the people who stand by and watch it happen.
Joe Calzaghe joined other stars from the world of music and television including Aston Merrygold from JLS, Patsy Palmer from BBC TV’s Eastenders, George Sampson from Britain’s Got Talent and Gemma Hunt from CBBC in the special one-off show. All had problems with bullying when they were younger.
