So sad, RIP

[Niamh.]

So young, I know he had his issues but I'll always remember him as Screech

[Smithy]

God I saw a tweet not an hour ago saying he thought he only had a couple of weeks left to live, how tragic :/

[Shaun]

Jesus, that's awful. I liked him on CBB but I'm aware he had...demons. RIP.

So tragic he put off going to hospital because he was afraid people would take photos and put them on the internet and make fun off him.

[AnnieK]

Aw sad news. So young too

44 is way too young, RIP.

But the cancer was stage 4 and fast moving; so there probably was no time for him to get chemo and radiotherapy.

......**** cancer...

I just saw this on the news website and saw the tribute messages from his SBTB co stars , I'm shocked as I didn't even know he was ill .

R.I.P sad news.

RIP.

Terrible news.

I was shocked to hear this, but not because of the age or anything. I could have sworn he died a few years ago?! Obviously he didn't but this really confused me as I swear I remember threads on here about it too :S
