Celebrity vicar Rev Richard Coles finds love again three years after tragic death of husband

TV favourite the Reverend Richard Coles has revealed he has found love again through online dating following the death of his husband David three years ago.

Former pop star Richard, who has starred in Strictly Come Dancing, presented a Radio 4 show and been - in his old day job as a parish vicar - the inspiration for the lead character in sitcom Rev, has spoken of his anger at the "humiliation" of having to pretend his marriage was celibate, the Mirror reports.

Richard revealed all in an interview with the Sunday Times. He has also explained how he used dating app Elite Singles to couple up with Dickie Cant, son of late actor and Play Away presenter Brian Cant.
