The Reverend Richard Coles says he was once reprimanded by the church after letting out a “bad word” on the panel show Have I Got News For You.
The broadcaster is trying his hand at stand-up comedy for Stand Up And Deliver, a new two-part series on Channel 4 in support of Stand Up To Cancer.
However, he said he would avoid foul language in his routines or risk disciplinary action, according to the Clergy Discipline Measure.
