Richard Osman has said he has suffered from food addiction since he was a child and will do for the rest of his life but wants to destigmatise the shame surrounding the addiction.

Speaking on BBC Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs, the Pointless presenter opened up about his addictive behaviour and said it has been a “difficult journey” to put himself out there but feels the more he tries the happier he becomes.
