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.

KonTikki · 18/08/2021 11:20

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
