David Bowie’s private toilet at a music festival.TV host and author Osman’s brother is Suede bassist Mat Osman, and while backstage at a festival in Barcelona with the band, Richard recounted how he was told to immediately vacate the facility in question.Speaking on The Toby Tarrant Show on Radio X, he said: “When [Suede] got big, it was just the best three years ever. I remember being at a festival in Barcelona – the only good thing about being backstage at a festival is the toilets are nicer – but then there was a particularly nice toilet at this one.”“So I go to this toilet, I’ve literally just started…I get a knock on the door, and I go, ‘One minute’, and he goes ‘Please vacate David Bowie’s toilet!’”“It was lovely, carpet on the walls.

Richard Osman is best known for presenting quiz shows Pointless and House of Games on the BBC, but the TV personality isn't the only famous face in his family.

BLACKPINK lead what looks set to be an all-new Official Albums Chart Top 5 this week, with BORN PINK tracking for the top spot.

Ahead of the release of their new album ‘Autofiction’ next month, Suede have released an accompanying short film.‘Autofiction: A Short Film’ features album opener ‘She Still Leads Me On’ and new single ‘Fifteen Again’, and was directed by Katie Lambert of MrMr Films.“With the ‘Autofiction’ short film we didn’t want to make a normal performance video”, says bassist Mat Osman. “Instead we wanted to make a short film that overlapped at a Suede gig, with the band as just a minor part of the film, rather than at the centre”.“MrMr then came up with the idea of taking a crossroad in a couple’s life and playing with it in odd ways – moving backwards and forwards in time, seeing it through different sets of eyes, seeing their hopes and fears and memories all jumbled up too”, he goes on.“’Autofiction: A Short Film’ takes some of the themes of the album – youth and ageing, love and loss, fear and joy – [and] sees them play out in the story of Chris and Hannah”, he adds.Lambert herself says: “’Autofiction: A Short Film’ is about that moment in a relationship when it’s crunch time.

on the quiz show to pursue a career in writing. In a statement, he said: "Pointless has been a joy from start to finish, working alongside my friend Alexander Armstrong, backed by the most wonderful team, and for the best viewers in the world. I will miss everyone so much, but I'm thrilled I'll still be presenting the celebrity shows.

Part of the Pointless charm is its brainiac co-host Richard Osman... or at least, it would be if he wasn't due to leave after 13 years. But that means we've had plenty of time to get to know the charismatic comedian over the years, including the fact that his debut novel The Thursday Murder Club has been picked up by none other than the great Steven Spielberf.

Richard Osman may be one of the most recognisable faces on TV these days - but it turns out he's not the only famous member of his family.
