Richard Osman 'gutted' as he steps away from BBC show
The presenter has left the helm of his self titled game show
www.liverpoolecho.co.ukHere’s the latest I can share based on recent reports:
- Richard Osman had a health scare in early 2025 related to kidney stones, which required surgery, and he discussed the episode publicly on his podcast The Rest Is Entertainment. He described the pain as “unbelievably painful.”[1][3]
- In late 2025, Osman was announced to have been honored with an OBE for services to literature and broadcasting, reflecting his work as a novelist and TV presenter.[2]
- In 2026, reports covered Osman stepping away from hosting Richard Osman's House of Games, with mentions that the show would continue under new branding as he handed over the reins to another host.[4]
If you’d like, I can pull more details from each source or look for the very latest updates and confirm any new developments. Would you like me to do that?[3][1][2][4]
