RICHARD COLES: I went on Ozempic after my neighbours were BULLYING me about my weight. But then I found the real reason they were so keen to get me on the drugs - and it's shocked me to my core
You can ask the Reverend Richard Coles anything on his new live tour, so let's cut straight to the chase. How's the love life? 'Excellent, thank you! I have a lovely time with Dickie, who came into my life a couple of years ago.' Dickie is the Shakespearean actor Richard Cant, son of former Play School presenter Brian. 'He hates me talking about him,' says Richard with a wince, 'but if you ask, there are things I can say.'
Their first date was at the Royal Horticultural Society Garden Wisley in Surrey. 'I knew he was coming from work - he was in the play Orlando in the West End at the time - so I did a brilliant thing and packed an extra pair of Wellingtons. I estimated his shoe size correctly. I knew that was a cool move.' How did it go down? 'Well, he said later, "You had me at the Wellingtons."'
