TV star Adrian Chiles wants a urinal-shaped gravestone when he croaks it. <\/p>\n
The former The One Show presenter, 56, reckons it would be the perfect way to permanently mark his life. He was a wee bit baffled when he went viral last year after revealing his bathroom boasts a porcelain urinal.<\/p>\n
It sits below a stained glass window featuring West Brom\u2019s crest, an alteration which he reckons has changed his life. He said: "I give it an affectionate pat every day."<\/p>\n

Asked whether he thought it might be mentioned in his obituary, Adrian quipped: "There\u2019s a thought. I might get a urinal-shaped gravestone."<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The outrage over his home urinal still tickles the presenter. He sent the internet into meltdown after claiming the "receptacle" was far superior to a bog. Adrian said: "It\u2019s just bizarre. I was surprised, but it wasn\u2019t the first time I mentioned it.<\/p>\n
"I mentioned it on the telly, I\u2019d talked about it on the radio, it just wasn\u2019t a secret. It\u2019s funny. It\u2019s like a tipping point. Suddenly, it became a thing.<\/p>\n
"It was like suddenly someone found out I was a West Brom fan. 'He\u2019s a West Brom fan? Never.\u2019 I thought everybody knew this."<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The star wrote about his urinal last April, saying: "I\u2019m very proud of it. I\u2019m a great enthusiast for urinals in the home. This is an enthusiasm shared by very few people, especially women, who have been known to retch at the very sight of it.<\/p>\n
"This baffles me. Many a chap has been chastised about his incompetent use of conventional toilets \u2013 poor aim, not putting the seat down, and so on.<\/p>\n
"Well, here\u2019s the answer: a receptacle at the correct height for ease of use, which is neat, tidy, clean and flushable. It changed my life. Gentlemen \u2013 or anyone with a penis \u2013 trust me: it is wonderful to have a toilet of one\u2019s own," he explained.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Adrian has two grown-up daughters who he shares with ex-wife Jane Garvey. He is currently in a relationship with The Guardian editor Katharine Viner since 2019, however they probably aren't as keen on the groundbreaking idea like Adrian is.<\/p>\n
When Adrian released his urinal inspired article last year, he had a mixed review from readers. One fan seemed to like the column and said: "Every other columnist in the British media walked so Adrian Chiles could run."<\/p>\n
While others weren't so enthusiastic. One reader took to social media and said: "Logged on, saw Adrian Chiles\u2019 urinal, logged off."<\/p>\n
