In April 2007, Richard said to the Metro: "My last relationship was with a girl, so I am on the cusp. I have never described myself as completely gay". Fairbrass has also said he appreciates "pretty guys who look like girls and girls who look like pretty guys." Views on COVID Fairbrass was hospitalised with COVID-19 in 2021; he has spoken out against COVID-19 measures and has been sceptical of the COVID-19 vaccine. Views on War in Ukraine Fairbrass has routinely commented on the 2022 War in Ukraine, often speaking in support of Russia's invasion and Vladimir Putin's justifications for the conflict. In December 2022, he published a tweet on his personal Twitter profile, calling on Putin to resist "western domination". He has also described Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the Ukrainian government as a despotic regime.
