Goodbye Beadle.

Television Prankster Jeremy Beadle has died after being admitted to hospital with pneumonia.

As one of the most successful TV personalities of the 80’s, Beadle attracted audiences of 15 million with You’ve Been Framed, Game For a Laugh and Beadle’s About.

Not only was he the funny man, he also put a lot of time and effort into helping charities and is thought to have raised more than £100 million.

One charity particularly close to the star was Children with Leukemia, which he was diagnosed with in 2005. He also had a kidney removed due to cancer.

All of this hard work did not go unnoticed though and in 2001, deservingly so, Mr Beadle was awarded an MBE.

Although he battled with ill health for many years, this did not stop the Beadle.

He released three books in autumn of 2007 and was working on TV ideas before falling ill with pneumonia.

Leaving behind his wife Sue, daughters Cassie and Bonnie, and his stepchildren Leo and Claire, Beadle will be missed by many.
