Barry Chuckle, half of the comedy duo the Chuckle Brothers, has died aged 73.
The entertainer, whose real name was Barry Elliott, starred in ChuckleVision with his brother Paul on the BBC between 1987 and 2009.
Paul said: "I've not just lost my brother, I've lost my theatrical partner of many, many years and my very best friend."
Tributes from fans who grew up watching their show poured in on Twitter, with many thanking him "for the laughs".
Earlier this year, the brothers returned to the small screen with a new show, Chuckle Time, on Channel 5.
The star had not been well towards the end of the new show's filming.

He's the smaller one, with the thinner face (by the way)
Ghastly creature;no doubt we can look forward to a series of 'Best of the Chuckle brothers'...
In April 2007 whilst on holiday on the Greek island of Cephalonia, Paul broke his nose and suffered cuts and bruises when he lost control of his motorcycle after suddenly braking to avoid a goatherd and herd. Instead of helping him, tourists who stopped at the accident shouted the Chuckle Brothers' catchphrase, "To me, to you."
Wonder what the pallbearers will be saying to each other
I saw him at panto. Great entertainer, rubbish painter and decorator.
