Richard Osman has opened up about his four decade long battle with a food addiction as he admitted it was caused by childhood heartache.
'Alcoholics will tell you the same, like it's absurd that there's a bottle of vodka in front of you or there's a packet of crisps in front of you and it's more powerful than you. The presenter said during an appearance on Radio 4's Desert Island Discs: 'My father left when I was quite young, when I was about nine. And that was probably the end of that innocence, I suspect.'
'I was in a lot of pain, clearly, but do you know what, I was nine, ten . . . I don't want to be in pain particularly, I don't want to miss my dad, I want to go,"this is OK, everything's fine". Speaking about his recovery, Richard revealed he began therapy later in life, and while he has relapses, he knows how to cope with it better.
Richard said the first person he told about his food addiction was Jimmy Mulville at production company Hat Trick, who he made comedy series Boyz Unlimited with, and he recommended a therapist called Bruce Lloyd.
