Rev Richard Coles joins Hamza Yassin snorkelling in Scotland

Reverend Richard Coles’ suffered a hysterical wardrobe malfunction during the filming of Channel 4 wildlife show, Scotland: Escape to the Wilderness. After first teasing the moment when the show premiered, host and cameraman Hamza Yassin has finally revealed all about how the Reverend ended up “in his birthday suit”.

Escape to the Wilderness sees Hamza take a selection of celebrities under his wing to go and explore wildlife in the Scottish Highlands.

The celebrities left behind their showbiz lifestyles and got up close and personal with nature.

However, Rev Richard immersed himself in the wildlife far more than he expected when he ended up naked in sand dunes in the Ardnamurchan Peninsula.

Fortunately, for the Reverend, the wardrobe blunder didn’t make the show.

The Countryfile star divulged: “[Richard] had never been snorkelling before and it was the first time he wore a wetsuit.

“So, he put it on, and the zip was at the front, but that’s the wrong way of doing it.

“He’s trying to zip it up saying, ‘Oh, this is uncomfortable! Everything is wrong!’

“He’s got bad knees, so we had to try and get this wetsuit off him.
