Sadly another comic genius has passed away.
Comedian Sean Lock has died from cancer at the age of 58, his agent has confirmed.
A comedy panel show favourite, Lock was a team captain on the series 8 Out of 10 Cats, hosted by Jimmy Carr.
He also appeared on QI, The Last Leg, Have I Got News for You, and The Big Fat Quiz of the Year.
Paying tribute, fellow comic Bill Bailey “It’s heart breaking to lose my dearest friend Sean Lock, he was a true original, a wonderful comic.”
Jon Richardson, who appeared opposite Lock as a fellow team captain on 8 Out of 10 Cats, tweeted “I idolised Sean as a comic long before I became a comedian myself and 10 years working alongside him didn’t diminish that in the least. An incredible comic brain and a truly unique voice.”
