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."'

County stints reminded me that basics of most important part of batting: Sai Sudharsan
Couple of brief stints in county cricket convinced Sai Sudharsan that "basics" are the most important part of batting, giving him immense confidence ahead of his maiden Test tour of England. Sudharsan batted like a dream in the IPL, racking up 759 runs at an average of 54.21 for Gujarat Titans. With his team losing the Eliminator to Mumbai Indians on Friday night, his focus shifts to red-ball cricket. The left-hander, who played for Surrey over the past couple of seasons, was expected to play the second India A versus England clash in Northampton from June 6 but is not sure if that is a possibility. The Test squad will leave for the United Kingdom on June 6. "I think I have played seven games in county cricket, so it gave me a great experience to be honest, it improved my batting multiple folds in terms of technique and in terms of basics to, it told me basics is the most important thing in batting. "So, I think it should help me and I will focus more on what I learnt and I will try and be aware and create those awareness before going into the series," said Sudharsan in response to a PTI query. He admitted that it would be tough to park the white ball habits right away but with the first Test scheduled for June 20, he has enough time to prepare for the English summer.

JOE WICKS: ‘As a kid, my diet was about 90 per cent processed food'
My first food memory is my mum's lasagne. She'd be the first to admit that she isn't a very good cook. She left home at 15 and lived in a squat. So, growing up, our diet was not that healthy. Lasagne was the one thing she made; OK, so she used Dolmio red and white sauces, but it's the only meal I remember her actually spending a little time preparing. Even now she'll still say, 'Do you want me to bring a lasagne round?' and it takes me straight back to my childhood. My dad, when he was about (as he was in and out of rehab), used to chop up some chicken breast, put it in a pan, then pour in a jar of that nuclear orange Uncle Ben's Sweet & Sour sauce. There were no vegetables and it was so sugary. I hated it. As a kid, it wasn't a question of being allowed fizzy drinks, sweets and chocolate – that was my diet, about 90 per cent processed food. My mum would shop around various supermarkets to get the cheapest deal – things like Wagon Wheels, Iced Gems, Findus Crispy Pancakes, frozen chicken and mushroom pies, KitKats, Penguins, sandwiches and maybe a little bit of fruit. And it definitely affected me: I was hyperactive, climbing the walls. But at the time I suppose it was all my mum knew. She didn't know how to prepare healthy food. Growing up in Surrey, I had free school dinners and remember some dishes so vividly. The midweek roasts with thin slices of beef, and butterscotch tarts with cream on top and a thin pastry base. Everything was thin. At secondary school we had the usual stuff – slices of pizza, burgers, chips, more roasts. I loved it all. I was very cheeky but knew how to be polite, and a bit charming, to get extra portions from the dinner ladies. Because I was raised on all that cheap food, it's in my DNA to still want it. When I'm stressed, it's a real issue. I don't just walk out of a shop with one chocolate bar and a bag of Monster Munch crisps. I'll also get a can of Coke, a packet of Fruit Pastilles and a tub of Ben & Jerry's and eat it all within half an hour. I'm trying to have a better relationship with food, and be a role model for my children. My life's very different now but, because of my childhood, I know what it feels like to live off that sort of diet, and the difference it makes to your energy, mood and health. These days I am very balanced in my diet, and 80 per cent of the time I'm in control. But the other 20 per cent I'm drinking fizzy drinks and bingeing on sugar. Our kids love nothing more than cakes, brownies and ice cream. But it's more about having those things as a treat when we're out. I don't want them in the house all the time. The only food I really despise is tinned tuna. My dad used to make pasta with tinned tuna, mayonnaise and sweet corn. It made me retch and I remember hating the smell of it. I was a very fussy eater as a child, very beige. My ultimate comfort food would be a gourmet burger and chips, but I also love a pub roast with all the trimmings. I always have the basics in my fridge: eggs, cheese and lots of vegetables. Things I can throw into a pan with some rice or noodles. Along with beef mince and chicken breasts for bolognese and curries. It makes me laugh when I'm having a burger or ice cream in a restaurant, and people say to me, 'Ooh, I didn't expect you to be eating that.' But I'm a greedy eater and want to be full up. I'm the person having a slice of toast with marmalade before bed. I just love food. My last supper would start with gyozas and popcorn shrimp tempura. Then I'd mix it up and have a smash burger and chips. Dessert would be chocolate fondant or sticky toffee pudding. Along with a pint of Coke. That would make me so happy.
