Reverend Richard Coles shares surprising health update: ‘I’ve started taking Ozempic’

The vicar and TV star talks to Lauren Taylor about his health goals, grief, and his new podcast The Apple and The Tree.

Richard Coles says Ozempic seems to be working for him for weight loss.

Reverend Richard Coles has revealed that he’s started taking a weight-loss drug in a bid to lose two stone.

“My birthday present to myself was Ozempic, because I’m too fat and I want to lose some weight – it’s affecting my health I think,” says the broadcaster, author and famous vicar, who first rose to fame as part of the band The Communards in the 1980s.
