An upcoming Channel 4 documentary exploring grief and how to overcome it saw a celebrity vicar try out a unique surfing-based therapy at a wave pool near Bristol.
Good Grief? is a one-off programme fronted by Rev Richard Coles, the recently-retired priest who regularly appears on the likes of QI, Have I Got News For You and Would I Lie To You? and has also popped up on Celebrity Mastermind plus Pointless Celebrities. He also co-presents Saturday Live on BBC Radio 4.
The cleric, who became a broadcaster and author, was a popular contestant on both Strictly Come Dancing and Celebrity Masterchef – but the personable preacher was sideswiped by the loss of his husband David in 2019. Despite dealing with bereavement in his day job, he found himself unable to cope with being alone.
