About

Sir Clement Raphael Freud (24 April 1924 – 15 April 2009) was a British broadcaster, writer, politician and chef. The son of Ernst L. Freud and grandson of Sigmund Freud, Clement moved to the United Kingdom from Nazi Germany as a child and later worked as a prominent chef and food writer.

He became known to a wider audience as a television and radio personality. Freud was the longest serving panellist on the BBC Radio 4 panel show Just a Minute, appearing in each of the first 143 episodes, and making subsequent regular appearances up until his death in 2009.
Freud was elected as a Liberal Member of Parliament in 1973, retaining his seat until 1987, when he received a knighthood.
In 2016, seven years after his death, three women made public allegations of child sexual abuse and rape by Freud, which led to police investigations.
