Just heard it on the radio. It knocked me for six.
He was only 59. One of the funniest men on telly and radio.
RIP Sean

I think he had been quite poorly for quite a while but it's absolutely heartbreaking for everyone who loved him.

Very funny man, his humour was right up my street. Very sad news Thanks

BigSandyBalls2015 · 18/08/2021 11:17

Oh how sad. I was listening to him on Rob and Josh's podcast the other day, very funny man ... and had three teenagers I believe Sad.

LublinToDublin · 18/08/2021 11:18

So sad. A great comedian. No age at all. Sad

Shirleyphallus · 18/08/2021 11:18

This is so sad, I absolutely loved him

I think he had a brain tumour or cancer of some sort, but it wasn’t well publicised.

:(

AssassinatedBeauty · 18/08/2021 11:19

Wtf?? No. I've watched him since he was in Newman & Baddiel in the early 90s and thought he was an amazing comedian. Often massively underrated. Loved him on 8 out of 10 cats does Countdown too.

Galassia · 18/08/2021 11:20

Never head of him but just read up on him. Very young and and he has teenage children.

BBC website is reporting death as skin cancer, aged 58
Very sad.

Notaroadrunner · 18/08/2021 11:21

So sad. I didn't know he was ill. RIP Sean.

Ughmaybenot · 18/08/2021 11:21

Poor man, he was so funny and sharp. Feeling for his family at this awful time, cancer is horrendous.

RevolvingPivot · 18/08/2021 11:22

Loved him. So sad.

Dontfuckingsaycheese · 18/08/2021 11:22

Ooh I love him. So clever and quick 😟

asadlittleflower · 18/08/2021 11:23

I remember him talking about working as a builder when he left school and he developed a malignant melanoma from being outside all the time.
I loved him. He was a very funny and decent person. He will be missed

Sewaccidentprone · 18/08/2021 11:25

Just seen the news. Cancer is ……………

Ostryga · 18/08/2021 11:25

Noooooo. He was so naturally hilarious, so many times I’ve seen him and couldn’t breathe for laughing.

A massive loss.

inmyslippers · 18/08/2021 11:26

How sad, he didn't seem old

TonyThreePies · 18/08/2021 11:28

What a shock. I thought he looked ill a few years ago. I had no idea he had cancer. RIP Sean, funny bones.

jessycake · 18/08/2021 11:28
