Summary
Richard Bacon has done a lot in his life. From Blue Peter and the Big Breakfast to 5 Live and Panorama, he's been the face of countless programmes in almost every broadcast genre imaginable. Richard has described his career as 'scattergun' and himself as high energy with a short attention span, but one thing is enduringly clear. For him, life is an adventure, and midlife will not change that. Now 44, we take a look at that near death experience, explore giving up drinking (again!) and talk calculated risk as he carves himself a brand new path in the Hollywood hills. Plus, how do you keep intimacy interesting during lockdown? Sex and Relationships expert Annabelle Knight helps us all out there!
