The pair achieved three UK top ten hits before Richard went on to study theology and was ordained, also balancing his work with broadcasting projects.
Over the years he’s been the host of BBC Radio 4’s Saturday Live programme, is a regular contributor for QI, Would I Lie to You? and Have I Got News for You and has also competed on Celebrity MasterChef, Strictly Come Dancing and most recently on I’m A Celebrity, where he placed third.
