Weekend Today co-host Richard Wilkins has revealed his New Year’s resolution.
The showbusiness veteran, 66, told 9Honey he wants to focus on his health and well-being in 2021.

When asked about his plans for 2021, Richard said he doesn’t believe in making resolutions in a strict sense, but does want to focus on his health.
‘I stopped doing that [resolutions] a few years ago,’ he said.
‘But in general it would be to exercise a bit more, drink a bit less.’

‘I swear on my life, I’ve still not had a runny nose, a headache or a fever. And I’ve not had a Codral or a Nurofen. Not a thing,’ he said.
Richard went into self-isolation on March 12, shortly after it was revealed that actor Tom Hanks and his wife, Rita Wilson, had tested positive for coronavirus.
Richard had met Rita twice: once backstage at the Sydney Opera House and again during her interview on Today Extra on March 9.
He tested positive for Covid-19 on March 15 and got the same result for two more tests before getting the all-clear from NSW Health.
