Speaking to Express.co.uk and other media, Richard revealed the reason why he thinks he is so accident-prone.
He said: “I ve had a lot of accidents.

The councillors are claimed to have had worries that the potential sourcing expansion would impact village businesses.
The parish council had rejected the applicant s proposal and the farm shop would be unable to benefit from a 30-mile radius.

James went on to discuss criticism he had received about his business.
“A lot of people criticise us and say it’s just a restaurant - it is a bit of a restaurant, it’s not really a drinking pub, he explained.
“It’s not the sort of place where hundreds of people stand around the bar, but it could be and it is a pub so you can just go there for a beer or a glass of wine.
“It’s going to be quite difficult to sell the idea to people if you’re going to have a Ribena with your supper.
