I can't find that, only that he's gravely ill.

Aww - tribute to the man that I thought at first it might be one of his famous pranks.

[IrishBaz]

Funny how we were just talking this week about when he did You've Been Framed.

He was the original YBF presenter. Him and Harry Hill are the real legends behind that show.

I'm sure I read somewhere he was bringing a show back?

[DC]

i don't know, but you've been framed is still good today. not the same without him but still good, forgotten sometimes with everything else on these days.

[Grace]

RIP Jeremy.

[Danishgirl]

Well, I don't know the man, I've never heard of him before, but death is always a sad thing.

RIP

Beadle was a great prankster on telly over here for a number of years, there are quite a few of his clips from Beadles About on youtube.

[KingTutsWWH]

Although his shows weren't exactly my cup of tea, they certainly played a large part in my youth. He was a good entertainer and this is far too young for him to have gone.

RIP.

[Behelzebub]

Shame... I remember when he did You've Been Framed when it was at the height of its popularity in the 90s, think I even remember watching a few episodes of Beadle's About as well. RIP.

[pinky2]

RIP a legend at pranks!

My thoughts go to wife and two daughters :cry:

[unclesirbobbyrobson]

Apparently he had cancer. then a year later he had leukemia. Thats not good luck.

He pulled the single best prank ever. He set up an alien landing. Flashing lights and everything. Then police closed off the area. Then he got this woman to talk to this ridiculous looking alien. She did as well.. welcome to our planet. Do you want a cup of tea she said.

[KingTutsWWH]

I think leukemia is a form of cancer - blood and bone marrow?

He died of pneumonia eventually. Death by a seperate illness seems to often be the case with cancer sufferers. My mum eventually died of jaundice last August, but had been battling colon and liver cancer pretty successfully for over 2 years.
