Is the Rev. Richard Coles, co-host of Radio 4’s Saturday Live and contestant in the new series of Strictly. No stranger to stardom, he was once one half of The Communards, and this was biggest-selling single of 1986. A few years ago, I used him as a voiceover because he sounds very similar to Stephen Fry. I just rang the vicarage at St. Paul’s in Knightsbridge and he answered the phone. He was kind, intelligent, worldly and gay – the last person you’d expect to have any truck with organised religion. But a couple of years later, when I was invited to the launch of his autobiography, he revealed how fame, drug abuse and the AIDS-related deaths of so many of his friends left him utterly lost and broken. Proving once again that lost souls at their most vulnerable will always fall prey to religion.
My favourite clergyman.
