On twitter a lot of people are posting pictures of Sean Locke not Sean Hughes

 

Sean Lock has spent soooo much time away from  8 out of 10 cats does countdown and is regularly covered for by guest captains. In the last 2 series he has rarely appeared. However, the very last episode he appeared in he had a shaved head and looked much thinner. I had to google at the time if was seriously ill and perhaps battling cancer. 

 

This is morning when I first saw the breaking news at the bottom of the webpage I picked up on the words Comedian, Sean and the age and immediately thought I may have been right after all about potential illness................then I read it properly!!

According to Chortle, Hughes was booked to perform at the Soho Theatre on Saturday. I think they're going to have to cancel...

Is this the place to discuss the rumours he was blacklisted from TV for fucking Jonathan Ross's wife?

 

 

Might be but wouldn't that endear him to a few people who hate Ross?

Ah, I see. I thought you may be alluding to a wanksock re Jane Goldman's cracking tits. But I am very tired, so humour me.

Fuck him (whoever he was) I have no time for walking stereotypes.  Fahkin drunk ass Mick.  I enjoy all the posts from fellow comedians etc 'sorry to see him go' well where were you when the fucker needed an intervention?  Same place as you were posting your laments, in front of your computer.

Hmm, thinking about Phyllis Diller earlier got me to thinking about those Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts. Can't be many folk still around from them, I thought, as the big names were folk like John Wayne and Sinatra and co.

That's why I didn't mention it all, he's probably been hoaxed or has access to information via....who knows? It would however give me a headache for next year's theme team as I'd have lost a quarter of them this year if true...

Had a quick search too. Unbelievable there isn't one. Would you like to do the honours? 

[YoungWillz 20,915]

Well, let's give it until tomorrow, if he's still alive I'll open one...
