Speaking on his The Rest is Entertainment podcast, Richard said: “Clarkson is bringing out another Diddly Squat and is bringing it out quite close to Christmas, which is the cowards way of bringing out a book.

“It gives you more chance of being a Christmas number one. If he had any guts at all…if he was any sort of a man…he’s coming out late in an attempt to do it.”

Richard however has tipped Charlie Mackesy for the coveted number one spot this Christmas. His last book, The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse, was transformed into an animated adaptation for BBC One in Christmas 2022.
