I’m A Celeb: Richard Coles speaks about whether being gay priest is ‘difficult’

The Rev Richard Coles has spoken about whether he found it “difficult” to be a gay priest in the Anglican Church on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! and said he has never felt anxiety about what God might think.

Coles, 62, who is known for presenting radio programmes, writing crime novels and appearing as a guest on TV panel shows, retired from clerical duties in 2022.

During Monday’s episode of ITV’s jungle-themed reality show, TikTok star GK Barry, real name Grace Keeling, asked Coles whether he found it “quite difficult being gay and doing that job?”

Coles replied: “No, not at all.”
