Television presenter and prankster Jeremy Beadle has died aged 59.
One of ITV's most popular hosts during the 1980s, Beadle had been suffering from pneumonia and was admitted to a London hospital last week.
He was best known for fronting You've Been Framed, the variety show Game For a Laugh as well as the hidden camera programme Beadle's About.
Michael Cohen, chairman of MPC Entertainment, Mr Beadle's agents, said: "He was a wonderful human being."
Mr Cohen added that the presenter was "one of the biggest TV stars in reality television, and raised many, many tens of millions of pounds for charity, and I am sure that's what he would like to be remembered for.
"He was a fantastic human being, a very close friend and he will be greatly missed."
Work rate
Mr Beadle leaves behind wife Sue, daughters Cassie and Bonnie, and his stepchildren Leo and Claire.
In his heyday, he regularly attracted television audiences of 15 million for Beadle's About and You've Been Framed.
I loved and admired him and I shall miss him desperately

But in recent years he had battled poor health after being diagnosed with a mild form of leukaemia in 2005. He also had a cancerous kidney removed.
He attracted funds for Children with Leukaemia all through his life and is thought to have raised more than £100 million for all charities.
In 2001 he was awarded an MBE.
Mr Beadle was diagnosed with cancer in 2005, but did this did not halt his work rate.
In autumn 2007 he released three books, and he had been working on ideas for television programmes when he fell ill.
Henry Kelly, who co-presented Game For A Laugh with Mr Beadle, said: "Jeremy and I were firm friends for nearly 30 years.
"I loved and admired him and I shall miss him desperately."
Eddie O'Gorman, Children with Leukaemia's founder, added: "Jeremy was not only a close personal friend and an extraordinary entertainer, he was one of the most dedicated supporters this charity has ever seen. |
Fucking legend this man was, Beadles About and You've Been Framed were classics
