He’s Britain’s most famous vicar, a finalist in I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here, former member of the pop band The Communards, Radio 4 presenter and Sunday Times best-selling author of the Canon Clement novels: and on Saturday, March 8, 2025 the Reverend Richard Coles was at Farnham Literary Festival. As well as surviving the jungle, he has won Christmas Masterchef, Celebrity Mastermind twice, been a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing and captained Leeds to victory in Christmas University Challenge in 2019, so there was plenty to talk about! He was in conversation with novelist Jack Jewers.
