Speaking to his co-host Marina Hyde, Richard explained what happened.
He said: “I have had quite the week of it. I woke up the other night in pain. And I had a kidney stone. It is the single most painful thing that has ever happened to me.”
It is the single most painful thing that has ever happened to me.
Richard added that, when he arrived at the hospital, he was given “liquid morphine”. However, he said it didn’t “touch the sides”.
“The doctors kept saying it is more painful than childbirth. But I’m not sure I can buy that,” he quipped.
Doctors remove kidney stones during surgery
As the pain wouldn’t pass, Richard was taken in for surgery to remove the kidney stone.
He said: “They took it out. So now I have the absolute joy of not being in pain.”
Thanking the doctors at London’s Charing Cross Hospital, Richard revealed he was told to increase his water intake to avoid developing more kidney stones in the future.
Richard said: “That I can do. No major lifestyle changes. Just have to drink more water.”

Richard’s previous health journey
The emergency surgery comes a few years after Richard revealed he had an “addictive behaviour” when it comes to food.
In a 2021 interview on Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs, the TV host explained: “My addictive behaviour had always been food. It has been since I was incredibly young. It doesn’t have any of the sort of doomed glamour of drugs or alcohol.”
But for Richard “there hasn’t been a day” in his life since he was nine years old that he has not thought about “problems with food”.
He added: “I know that I am either controlling it or not controlling it at any given time. And these days, I control it more often than I don’t.”
Along with his issues with food, Richard suffers from the condition nystagmus, which causes the eye to make uncontrolled motions. Because of this he can not drive, and has even compared his eyesight to a permanent fog in the past.
