Sad to hear that Jeremy Beadle has died aged just 59. He’d been ill on and off for some time with Leukaemia, and kidney problems etc but finally succumbed to a bout of pneumonia.
I can’t say I ever liked his style and I felt more sympathy for those people he ‘pranked’ than I felt the urge to laugh at them… but he was loved by many, especially during the 1980’s and he worked hard for charities raising millions through his career.
