Reverend Richard Coles, who is currently a contestant on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!, has said he has been haunted by his late husband David after his death
I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! contestant Reverend Richard Coles has opened up about the eerie presence of his late husband David in their home. Richard, 62, has been sensing signs from the afterlife, notably through the smell of cigarette smoke at the bottom of the stairs, a habit that infuriated him when David was alive.
Richard faced a devastating loss when David, who he married in 2010 and was also a cleric, died of alcoholic liver disease shortly before Christmas in 2019, aged just 43. Following this tragedy, Richard, known previously for being part of the pop duo Communards, penned The Madness of Grief: A Memoir of Love and Loss.
"I sometimes think this is what ghosts are, flickers across the edge of sense anticipating the presence of the absent one. The first time it happened to me I was in the sitting room and looked to my left. I had draped a throw he liked to wear when he was cold over the post at the bottom of the banisters, and it hung there, rather like it did on him when he was bony and pale," he said.
Rev Coles shared his poignant experience, saying: "I say my mind's eye, it was as real as reality and my heart skipped before my mind reasserted the knowledge of his death."
