Same ... you just assume the worst when you don’t hear from people for ages

Didn’t he get married and father a child at 75 or something ?

Des from des and mel?

Yes

[Crimson Dynamo]

Very sad news. Des was a hugely popular entertainer/singer in the 70s 80s and 90s. He was probably best known for his role in the Morecambe and Wise shows. Absolute legend.

Yes, very sad. But he hasn't looked right for a few years now. :(

Last few times I've seen him on TV he's looked shaky and frail. No surprise to learn he has died, even though it was after a fall. Unsteady on his feet, I guess.

Sad also, we've seen so many entertainers die this year. RIP, Des. :(

A genuine legend that didn't mind being made fun of on a regular basis

when you appear regularly on the most watched tv show of the 70s you dont mind what happens :joker:

[Kizzy]

He was my fave of all those old style comedians seems a genuinely lovely guy.

[joeysteele]

I liked when he hosted Countdown too.
He was good on that.

[Shaun]

Seemed a class act. RIP

[smudgie]

Loved Des.
My very first poster on the wall as a kid was of Des.:blush:
R.I.P. to a truly lovely and talented man.

[Ammi]

...he had a great smile..:love:...such wonderful Twitter tributes from so many people...and the tributes are for him as a person, not a life’s career of entertainment, you know...to be so loved by so many is all anyone could hope for.../...a true meaning of life...


...Des O’Connor...:love:..
