As host Adam Hills discussed Prince Andrew severing ties with a businessman alleged to be a Chinese Spy, Richard interjected: "My brother was a spy."A perplexed Adam quickly questioned how he could disclose such information on Channel 4, to which Richard calmly responded: "He's retired now.

He was a spy cop in the 1980s that's subject of an inquiry at the moment."Richard went on to share how his family first suspected something unusual when his brother would arrive for Christmas looking like his undercover persona.

He said: "He'd turn up for Christmas in the sort of appearance of his undercover role. Which was not bow ties in the casinos of Europe, he had shaggy hair and piercings so that was a surprise." A taken aback Adam asked: "who was he infiltrating then?" To which Richard replied evasively: "I don't think I'm at liberty to say," reports Birmingham Live. "Oh my goodness," was Adam's reaction.
