With over two million listeners, The Reverend Richard Coles was, until March 2023, co-presenter of BBC Radio 4’s Saturday Live. He regularly appears as a celebrity panelist on shows such as Have I Got News For You, Would I Lie To You?, I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue and QI, and has made guest appearances on University Challenge, Pointless Celebrities, The Crystal Maze, Celebrity Mastermind, Alan Davies As Yet Untitled and Songs of Praise — to name but a few.

In 2016, Richard reached the semi-finals of Celebrity Masterchef and in 2017 he presented BBC One’s The Big Painting Challenge alongside Mariella Frostrup, which returned in 2018 for a second series. In August 2017, Richard was announced as the fifth celebrity to join the line-up of BBC1’s hit prime-time show Strictly Come Dancing – he exited the show on week two of voting.

Richard writes regularly for broadsheet newspapers and magazines.
