TV prankster Jeremy Beadle has died, aged 59.
The popular TV presenter passed away on Wednesday after being admitted to hospital last week with pneumonia.
Beadle had been suffering with poor health since being diagnosed with leukaemia almost three years ago.
He was best known for presenting popular shows such as Game for a Laugh and Beadle's About.

u forgot to mention that he was a legend and raised millions for charity :)
King Jimbo says
Apparently he used to say a lot “Charity is the rent we pay on Earth”
Now I’m not a big charity guy but I like that line.
Condolences to his family.
Stabby McGee says
Agreed, the man was a legend. Whether or not you liked the television shows he presented, he was essentially a good man and the world is poorer for his parting.

I bet he is’nt dead at all but just pretending. He will jump up at his own wake and shout ‘boo’ to everyone.
gir says
He was so famous that I’ve never even heard his name before.
In other news a whole lot of other people died yesterday, too. Like more than a hundred.
