Here’s the latest publicly reported news about Richard Osman I can share without live tool access:
- In early 2025, reports covered Osman speaking publicly about a kidney stone episode that required surgery, described as extremely painful, and discussed on his podcast. This was among the more prominent health-related updates at the time.[1][3]
- Later in 2025, Osman was named an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the New Year Honours, recognized for services to literature and broadcasting; he also spoke about continuing his TV and writing work alongside his broader media projects.[2]
- In 2026 there were developments suggesting changes to his hosting roles on some of his long-running shows, with coverage noting his stepping back from certain hosting duties and the shows potentially rebranding or passing the baton to new hosts; Osman himself expressed affection for the programs while explaining the need to focus on writing and new projects.[4]
If you’d like, I can narrow this to a specific area (health updates, awards, or TV hosting news) or pull more detailed points from those sources. Also, I can search for the very latest items if you want up-to-the-minute headlines.
