Terrible news. Grew up watching him every Saturday on channel 4 racing and on The Morning Line before he was given the boot.

Loved his racing. Was also a regular on Big Brothers Bit on the Side and was an amusing guest.

RIP

As a child I always pictured him as an evil Dickens character.

From his surname to his clothing to his overly applied make-up, he was born to be in a Dickens novel.

About five years ago I sat a couple of tables away from in a London restaurant and he ate with his fingers, whilst wearing fingerless gloves. I half expected the whole restaurant to break into song about him and his ways.

Met him several times through the course of work. Actually very quiet and very measured off camera, but you wouldn’t want to piss him off.

Poor sod. All he did was break his leg and somebody came along and finished him off.......






Too soon?

I met him in the departure lounge at Miami airport some years ago and he was very sunburned & equally grumpy.
