Richard Bacon's cocaine past resurfaces in awkward chat with his children
Richard Bacon revealed that his cocaine past resurfaced during an incredibly awkward chat with his young children.The 45 year old, who hosted Good Morning Britain on Wednesday, was axed from BBC1's Blue Peter, 18 months after landing a coveted presenting role, for using cocaine in 1998. More than two decades later, Richard has forged a successful career as a TV producer in Los Angeles, where he lives with his wife Rebecca McFarlane and their two children Arthur, nine, and daughter Ivy, seven – who were naturally curious to know more about their father.
