Reverend Richard Coles burnt himself while having sex in a burger van.
The Church of England priest has recalled a moment before he joined the clergy when his hand touched a "hot griddle" as he and a burger man had "casual sex" in the vehicle, which was parked in a lay-by in the Midlands, England.
Chatting on the Rylan: How to Be in Love podcast with host Rylan Clark, he admitted: "I went through a period of having a very interesting and full life ... I discovered casual sex in a place where it wasn't often found, which is on the road network of the Midlands."
Rylan chimed in: "Dogging?"
Richard replied: "Well we didn't call it that then. It was meeting people in lay-bys ...
"It really was like that. There was one chap, I remember. Oh, it's just terrible. There was a burger van out there, and I ended up getting off with the burger man.

"Anyway he had to sort of draw the shutter down on his burger van, and then it rocked around a bit."
Rylan pointed out: "That must have been dangerous with that griddle."
Richard revealed: "Well, I put my hand back on the hot griddle, exactly. I got a burn ... I have to say as well, the food hygiene has got a lot better."
Richard - who shot to fame as a member of the 1980s pop groups Bronski Beat and The Communards - also revealed he has a lifetime ban from Avis rent-a-car after he got "s***-*****" on "ecstasy and acid" in Ibiza.
The 63-year-old star explained: "It was really after the band [The Communards] reached its highest point and we were taking a break which we are still on 35 years later.
"That was when sex and drugs and rock and roll came together for me and I took some time out and I went to Ibiza and I just was s***-***** for many, many months.
"There was one summer I went, and I went with a bunch of people, and we all just took ecstasy and acid, oh, everything really. And I remember we got barred from Avis rent-a-car for life because we got through a lot of vehicles.
"Mavis from Avis, she was furious."
Rylan had to check if he heard what Richard had said correctly, and asked: "Stop! Got barred from Avis?"

Richard confirmed: "Yeah, for life."
The former pop star also bought a speedboat, and he does not know its whereabouts.
Richard said: "I bought a speedboat and I don't know where it is."

I was on ITV 1% Club with Lee Mack and was shocked by the scenes we had to fake
The 1% Club has been an instant hit with viewers - but fans may be surprised to learn that some scenes are actually fake, according to one former contestant. ITV's The 1% Club, hosted by Lee Mack of Not Going Out fame, has taken the nation by storm since its launch in 2022. This primetime IQ game show distinguishes itself by asking contestants logical and common-sense questions rather than relying on general knowledge. With 100 competitors initially in the running, they are gradually eliminated until someone manages to answer a fiendishly difficult question within 30 seconds—a question that supposedly only 1% of the population can solve correctly—in hopes of snagging the £100,000 prize. However, a twist behind the scenes has emerged, thanks to a previous contestant revealing some surprising production secrets. Heidi Phillips, 49, divulged details about her experience on the highly-rated ITV show which she participated in October of the preceding year. Having secured her spot on the show after spotting an advert on Facebook and passing a mock quiz via Zoom, Heidi tells all in a conversation with Fruity Slots. Exposing the true goings-on during filming, she let slip that not everything viewers see is as it happens live. According to her account, while participants focus on answering questions on their tablets, host Lee Mack is busy cracking jokes for the audiences at home. However, here lies the rub: Heidi let on that Lee's humorous interludes aren't shot concurrently with the contestant's efforts. She elaborated in her chat with Fruity Slots, elucidating: "While contestants are answering questions on the tablet, Lee usually takes the time to make a joke to the audience at home. But all his comical parts are filmed later. "When we're answering the question, he remains silent. Then he has to be filmed asking the question again and we have to pretend to put our answers in. That was a bit weird!". Heidi also revealed that contestants had to adhere to a stringent rule on the show, which, if violated, would result in them having to immediately return any prize money. The contestant, who exited the programme at the 35% question, explained: "When we got put in our seats in the studio, they gave us the tablets and told us it was important to keep our eyes firmly locked on the screens and not look at each other. "There were actually invigilators who go back through the show episode to make sure every contestant plays the game fairly. "You could have won the cash prize but if they go back through filming and see you glanced over at another contestant's screen before answering, you'll forfeit the prize." Heidi added: "That's not happened yet - but it was a stern warning!". Despite the strict warning from producers, Heidi said host, Lee, is very charming and "naturally funny", sharing: "He's honestly really funny. Very naturally funny. He also has banter with the warm-up comedian and creates a nice atmosphere." She also expressed her eagerness to return to the show and praised the programme's staff for "going back over the funny anecdotes I'd shared with them and make sure I'd be happy to discuss it on the show if Lee (Mack) wanted to". Heidi, who noted the importance of dressing appropriately for the show, avoiding anything "nothing low cut", remarked: "They seemed really concerned about our welfare and us being happy to share things on TV. They really took the time to check in with us." For those eager to participate and lucky enough to reach the audition stage, Heidi's tip is: "When they ask you how you'll spend the winnings, don't say something boring like paying off the mortgage. Give a really wild question," and shared her humorous approach by saying: "I made silly jokes that if I won the prize, I'd spend it on opening a trifle sandwich shop."

Lorraine Kelly 'left shaking like a leaf' after venture
The Glasgow-born star joined fellow presenter Dan Snow in a race up the 25-metre mast of the RSS Discovery in Dundee on Friday, with Snow reaching the top first by a few minutes. Lorraine Kelly said she was 'shaking like a leaf' as she scaled the mast of a historic ship that previously ventured to Antarctica, before abseiling to the ground. The feat aimed to emulate the working conditions the ship's original crew faced when it voyaged to Antarctica 124 years ago, albeit they endured harsh weather conditions and no modern safety precautions. Lorraine Kelly left 'shaking like a leaf' after venture (Image: Andrew Milligan/PA) Led by the Dundee Heritage Trust, the Discovery Mast Climb will be open for daring members of the public to experience in the autumn. After reaching the top, both TV stars waved for the cameras below. Snow spoke into the microphone of a camera drone above, with little-to-no fear in his voice. READ MORE: Lorraine Kelly at Glasgow restaurant on break from ITV show The Discovery Mast Climb is expected to draw attention from all over the world and is the only experience of its kind in Scotland. The Cutty Sark in London and the SS Great Britain in Bristol offer a similar challenge. After completing the climb, Kelly said: 'The experience in general was absolutely terrifying, and the only reason I think I got through it was because Dan Snow was doing it as well. 'He looked so calm as he was shimmying up the rigging. 'That made me feel a bit better, but I'm not good with heights, so it was scary. "I was shaking like a leaf, but it's really good to be back on dry land.' (Image: Andrew Milligan/PA) Kelly, a patron of the Dundee Heritage Trust alongside Snow, added: 'The Discovery ship is beautiful, she's the symbol of Dundee. I'm obsessed with all things Antarctica, and she went to Antarctica. 'She's an old girl, so she needs a lot of maintenance, and obviously that costs a lot of money. 'This was all about raising awareness of the Discovery and letting everyone in Dundee have a look at her.' She said the experience also highlighted Scotland's former ties to the whaling industry, which was abolished in Scotland in 1963. READ MORE: Lorraine Kelly shares heartfelt message to husband in touching post READ MORE: Lorraine Kelly pictured at East Kilbride restaurant She said: 'Dundee's links with Antarctica and South Georgia are very important, and this whole weekend is really about that. It's about looking back on the whaling industry, which was a big part of the city, and looking forward to the fact that we don't do that anymore – thank goodness – and we're trying to save these beautiful animals, so it's a celebration of the future.' Asked if she would consider such a climb again, Kelly joked: 'I don't think I'll ever do anything like that again. I'll leave that to the experts.'
