Heart attack apparently

I was singing along to 'we like trucking' just a couple of nights ago. poor Mel. He always was the 'chubby' one though, remember the Stout Debate sketch where he was wearing the 'proud to be stout' t shirt? Although I did see him in Hairspray a few years ago and he certainly looked fit then with all the dancing about.
So many fond memories, and such a shame. RIP Mel.

Poor man. I was just thinking about him the other day as Gryff-Rhys Jones was on would I lie to you? and he looked brilliant.

[DrDre]

Really funny guy. Such a shame he has gone.

I saw it on the BBC news website. Am astounded.
Like a lot of people, I grew up with NTNON.
Sad day.
RIP Mel.
