Tragic funnyman Duncan Norvelle died virtually penniless after his camp act fell out of favour with TV bosses - and battling years of ill health.

The comedian, known for his trademark 'Chase me' catchphrase, spent his final years living in a run-down terraced home in Romford, east London.

He had attempted to make a series of comebacks after suffering two devastating strokes in 2012 which left half his body paralysed and confined to a hospital bed for 18 months.
