I\u2019m A Celebrity<\/a> star Reverend Richard Coles<\/a> has opened up about his \u2018spy brother\u2019 just days after an inquiry into his sexual history with a teenager.<\/p>\n

The 62-year-old media personality, who has just returned from the Australian jungle where he landed third place, revealed the eyebrow-raising family link during his appearance on The Last Leg.<\/p>\n

When host Adam Hills started questioning Richard and The One Show<\/a> star about whether they had ever met any spies, fellow guest Alex Jones joked that \u2018Richard could be one\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u2018Actually, my brother was a spy, he\u2019s retired now,\u2019 Richard replied, referring to his brother Andy Coles.<\/p>\n

When probed further by a shocked Alex, 47, he said: \u2018Well actually he was a spy cop in the 1980s [which is] subject to an inquiry at the moment.\u2019<\/p>\n

The admission was met with shocked laughter as he continued: \u2018I\u2019ll tell you how you know your brother\u2019s a spy. He\u2019d turn up for Christmas in the sort of appearance of his undercover role which was not a bowtie in the casinos of Europe.<\/p>\n

\u2018He had like shaggy hair and piercings. So that was a surprise.\u2019 Richard later joked that he thought Andy was having an \u2018early midlife crisis.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018And who was he infiltrating then?\u2019 Adam, 54, asked on the Channel 4 show, to which Richard replied: \u2018I don\u2019t think I\u2019m quite at liberty to say.\u2019<\/p>\n

And when asked by Alex if he \u2018had any gadgets like a watch that could kill\u2019 Richard clarified that it wasn\u2019t that sort of thing, before adding he was \u2018put into various groups identified as potentially dangerous\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u2018He\u2019s told me nothing about it. In fact, I\u2019m learning about it from the public inquiry,\u2019 he continued.<\/p>\n

The public inquiry, which took place last week, was told that the undercover cop in his 30s formed a sexual relationship with a teenage activist without disclosing his identity, per The Guardian<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The activist, Jessica, described Andy, who later became a conservative councillor, as \u2018disgusting and gross\u2019 and a \u2018creepy lech\u2019.<\/p>\n

She added that she was \u2018young and naive at 19\u2019 when she met the 31-year-old, who claimed to be 24.<\/p>\n

Jessica, who was involved in animal rights groups, only uncovered Andy\u2019s identity due to a reference to his career made in Richard\u2019s 2014 autobiography, Fathomless Riches: How I Went From Pop to Pulpit.<\/p>\n

The offending passage said his brother had infiltrated a \u2018sinister organisation\u2019. \u2018He looked like he had just walked out of the woods, his hair long and shaggy, with a straggly beard, his ears rattling with piercings,\u2019 it read.<\/p>\n

Andy, who is due to be questioned, has denied the relationship happened although the Metropolitan Police have refuted his denial saying that it took place from 1992 to 1993. The Met have said Andy would have faced a disciplinary hearing on a charge for gross misconduct, if it wasn\u2019t for him already leaving the police force in 2013.<\/p>\n

Describing how the intimate relationship started she recounted that he \u2018just lunged straight at me and kissed me\u2019 while they were watching television together. She had felt \u2018shock\u2019 following the encounter.<\/p>\n

\u2018It was the last thing I was expecting \u2026 I didn\u2019t really know how to react. Nothing like this had happened to me before so I didn\u2019t really know what to do. I think my overriding feeling was that \u2026 I wouldn\u2019t want to hurt his feelings,\u2019 she continued.<\/p>\n

Andy is being investigated as part of an undercover policing inquiry. They are looking at 139 police officers who adopted fake identities for deployments that involved spying on political groups. <\/p>\n
