Subject Man, 45, with foot fetish made 1,200 nuisance calls to the NHS 111 helpline while posing as an elderly woman to get operators to talk about their

A nuisance caller with a 'sexual foot fetish' bombarded a free NHS advice line with more than a thousand calls in two years, often pretending to be an elderly woman.

Richard William Cove, 45, from Worthing, West Sussex, pleaded guilty to making malicious communications and told police he had been making the calls 'for his own enjoyment'.

Worthing Magistrates' Court heard that NHS 111 received more than 1,200 nuisance calls between April 2019 and April 2021, which cost the taxpayer over £20,000.

After he was arrested, Cove told police he had been 'indulging' in a sexual foot fetish during 'most of the calls'
In recordings released by the South East Coast Ambulance Service (SECAmb), Cove can be heard during one call telling the handler his name is 'Sarah Cheeseman' and that he is 'suffering from very sweaty, smelly feet'.

On another call, the 45-year-old affects his voice to sound like an elderly woman, and tells the call handler he is being interrupted by his daughter, and then later by his husband 'who is trying to get me out of bed'. On that occasion, Cove said he had slipped and twisted his knee two days previous.

Later on the same call, he tells the NHS 111 handler her voice 'sounds familiar' adding: 'You're a very pleasant lady to talk to. They (the other call handlers) are not all (like that).'

On a third call, he says his name is 'Paulo Duveoo', and that he has a bite on the side of the foot, before telling the handler that he has 'bare feet'.

Cove's nuisance calls started in April 2019 when NHS 111 received a complaint from a member of the public who reported that he kept receiving calls from clinicians from the service despite never contacting it.
