I'm A Celeb's Richard Coles took revenge on husband with 'swampy grave' before tragic loss

Reverend Richard Coles has opened up about the 'revenge' he enacted on his late husband, David, by giving him a 'swampy grave' after he was 'spectacularly late' to a meeting

David, who had bought the couple's graves without Richard knowing, died from liver disease in 2019 at the age of 43 after battling alcohol addiction since his teenage years, as reported by the Mirror. In their conversation, James mentioned Reverend Coles' book, 'The Madness of Grief', and how the I'm A Celeb star's partner was buried in a "rather insalubrious corner of the graveyard". Reverend Coles explained: "Oh, well, you see; the first shall be last and the last shall be...It was a bit of my revenge on him because he bought the graves and then we had to go pick the exact spot, which is actually the churchyard of the village where I have a little cottage which I've had for years, which I love."
