Reverend Richard Coles is the latest arrival in the I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! jungle, just months after opening up about two major losses in his family
Reverend Richard Coles is heading into the I'm A Celebrity jungle alongside fellow late entrant, Love Island's Maura Higgins. However, the TV star only recently suffered two major family losses.
His message was moving in its simplicity: "Daisy and Pongo, having lived all their long lives together, departed together today." This loss came soon after Coles mourned his mother Elizabeth's death this February. Followers quickly flooded the post with consoling comments. Another sent their love, "I'm so sorry Richard. They were beautiful. Prayers and love to you," and another supporter offered solace, "Whilst this is heart-breaking for you, and I can imagine you are bereft. It's a kindness for them to have crossed the rainbow bridge together. The grief the survivor would have faced would have been unbearable. Deepest condolences."
In 2021, Richard opened up about the agony of David's death, sharing his desire to protect the intimate details of his husband's struggle with alcoholism. "I often think if someone dies of drink as people used to say, that people filed them under a sort of tragic, squalid death. David was so much more than that. I wanted to get a sense of why David was so important to those who loved him before we got to a discussion of what killed him," he expressed.
