I'm A Celeb fans left gobsmacked after Reverend Richard's royal bombshell

Viewers of I'm A Celebrity were left gobsmacked when Reverend Richard made a saucy remark about sharing a bed with a Royal.

On Monday night, fans tuned into ITV to see Dean McCullough tackle another Bushtucker Trial while Maura Higgins celebrated her birthday.

At one point during the show, GK Barry - whose real name is Grace Keeling - asked Richard: "Who's the most interesting person you've ever met?"

When he responded that he finds all people interesting, she narrowed it down and asked if he'd ever met a member of the Royal family.

He confirmed he had and when she asked what they were like, he cheekily retorted: "Great in bed..." before bursting into laughter.

However, Reverend Richard didn't reveal which Royal Family he was referring to. Fans were left speechless and flocked to the comment section to question what had just happened.

One user posted on X, formerly known as Twitter: "Who has Richard bedded from the royal family? Have I missed something?!"

Another commented: "Reverend Richard said a Royal was good in bed," accompanied by a GIF of footballer Neymar looking utterly baffled.

"I love Richard so much and I need to know which royal he was talking about," another fan wrote, reports the Mirror.

Viewers were intrigued as GK probed Richard about the intersection of his sexuality and faith, asking him, "Did you find it quite difficult being gay and doing that job?" The Reverend openly shared, "No, not at all. I've never given it a moment's twinge of anxiety over whether God thought it was alright or not. Whether other people thought it was alright or not, well I'm happy to have that argument..."

He further reflected on his identity, saying, "Also, I was not the first. Sometimes I look at documents from the early church, or the church of the middle ages and I just think - so gay."

In the Bush Telegraph, GK confessed, "I came into this jungle, maybe not knowing who I would gel with or who I would be close with in here and never in a million years if you told me that I would be getting on best with a reverend would I have believed you."

She continued to express her unexpected bond, adding, "But, he is honestly... I think he might be my favourite person in here."
