RICHARD WHITELY HAS DIED

[JoolsToo]

sorry I spelt his name wrong

Oh my word, what a shame.

only 61.. what a shame.
symapathies to family etc.

oh bless his heart.

oh my i didnt know that!

he did look older than his years though didn't he?

oh no!!!! I loved watching countdown - his dry yorkshire humour always amused me

sympathies to his family
61 is to young to die

Flossam - he a few extra pounds but he didn't have a line on his face - well not for a 61 year old! I thought he looked fab!

OMG, I really thought you were joking.

How sad.

How sad. I love Countdown and it won't be the same without him.

Oh, what a shame. I was only reading about his op this morning as well.

i rea dabout his op yesterday, thought he was doing well.

Another genial gentleman, gone.

How sad.

OMG thats awful

Jools I think I have unrealistic expectations then!

Very sad he will be missed.

I know he had some sort of heart operation but it said in the newspaper yesterday that he was getting better.

countdown wont be the same

oh, how sad
