I'm A Celeb's Reverend Richard Coles admits taking 'revenge on husband with swampy grave'

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Reverend Richard Coles has opened up about the "revenge" he took on his late partner because he was once "spectacularly late" to an appointment to discuss their final resting place.

In a 2021 episode of the Full Disclosure podcast with James O’Brien, Reverend Coles discussed his plans for his future grave, which he revealed would be "side-by-side" with his late husband, Reverend David Coles.David, who previously bought the couple's graves without Richard's "knowledge or consent", tragically died of liver disease in 2019, aged 43, due to a long-standing alcohol addiction that he'd suffered from since he was a teenager, reports the Mirror.

During their discussion, James referred to Reverend Coles' book, 'The Madness of Grief', and how the I'm A Celeb star's partner had ended up in a "rather insalubrious corner of the graveyard".

Reverend Coles said: "Oh, well, you see; the first shall be last and the last shall be...It was a bit of my revenge on him because he bought the graves and then we had to go pick the exact spot, which is actually the churchyard of the village where I have a little cottage which I've had for years, which I love."And he was, as usual, late, spectacularly late, so late that the people who we met had gone by the time he arrived.
