Richard Osman reflects on his 'shameful and bizarre' battle with food

Richard Osman says his 'shameful and bizarre' battle with food addiction began when his father walked out on the family after confessing to an extra-marital affair. The presenter and author was just nine-years old when dad David Osman announced he was having affair before leaving his wife and children in Sussex and relocating to Warwickshire with his new partner. And Osman believes his issues with food served as a coping mechanism as he struggled through childhood without an adequate father figure.
