Reverend Richard Coles is the only British vicar to have had a number-one hit single and to have appeared as a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing and since the first leg of this tour, he's charmed his way to the final of ITV's 'I'm A Celebrity'.

He is also an enormously loved broadcaster, and a 'Sunday Times' bestselling author whose new novel 'A Death On Location' comes out this summer. Is this national trinket on the verge of becoming a national treasure?

Many would say so, but the man himself would probably disagree. Still, whether you see him as treasure or trinket, this is a wonderful opportunity for an intimate evening with one of the UK's most distinctive voices. Anecdotes from a life well lived, gossip, wit and wisdom... and a Q and A for those curious about the jungle.
