Saltburn follows an apparently working-class Oxford University student from Merseyside, played by Barry, 31, who becomes infatuated with upper-class student Felix, played by Jacob, 26.
Things concludes with a disturbing twist, when seemingly innocent Oliver turn out to be a vengeful mastermind who has killed off not just Felix and his family, over the course of a few years in a bid to gain their fortune – and Saltburn mansion.
Richard’s success on the show comes after he revealed he ‘can’t imagine falling in love again’ after the death of his beloved wife Joan Washington.
Joan passed away in 2021 aged 74, just eight months after she was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer.
Late last year, Richard said he writes to his late wife of 35 years every day as the thought of her not being here is too much to bear.
The actor, who is the new voice of The Wombles, added while he has tried dating but ‘nobody else has even come near’ to Joan.
Of his grief, Richard told The Telegraph: ‘I’ve now accepted that I will never understand it trying to imagine not being here is beyond my capacity for thinking.
‘So, I write a letter to Joan every night about what’s going on, and I find that it feels like I have a physical, tangible, ongoing conversation with her that’s written down, I’ve found that really, really helpful….

‘Anticipating what she might think about this, or what is her opinion about that? Even the most mundane things.’
Richard said in the two years since Joan’s death, he has been set up on blind dates by his friends but isn’t looking to meet anyone.
‘I think that what was so extraordinary about her is that I felt like I was truly seen and understood by another human being in a way that nobody else has even come near,’ he said.
Ant & Dec’s Limitless Win starts Saturday 6th January, 8:30pm on ITV1 and ITVX
Richard’s success on the film comes after he revealed he ‘can’t imagine falling in love again’ after the death of his beloved wife Joan Washington.
