never occurred to me, always just thought he probably had another gig/ telly show commitment. Felt proper shit last night after reading about this, he was the main reason for watching 8 out of 10 Cats does Countdown, funny fucker and so effortlessly made me laugh.
RIP
If you go back and look, you can see the progress of treatment and relapses just on 8 of 10 Cats Does Countdown, from series to series.
Genuinely nice guy, real shame.
