Barry Chuckle, one half of the comedy duo the Chuckle Brothers, has died aged 73 after a short period of ill health.

The entertainer, whose real name was Barry Elliott, starred in ChuckleVision with his brother Paul on the BBC between 1987 and 2009.

Paul said: "I've not just lost my brother, I've lost my theatrical partner of many, many years and my very best friend."

Fans have paid tribute on Twitter, with many thanking him "for the laughs".

Never saw Chucklevision but I was very aware of them and enjoyed their appearances on programmes I did watch.

RIP Barry.

The really amazing thing about the Chuckle Brothers is that they have two elder brothers who were/are also in the entertainment business - the Patton Brothers. Patton Brothers - Wikipedia
