Paul Ritter of Friday Night Dinner fame has died of a brain tumour.

Very sad news. He was great in Friday Night Dinner.

[Butchers Blind]

Very sad news. He was great in Friday Night Dinner.

Also in the recent Chernobyl drama.

[The Ombudsman]

Also in the recent Chernobyl drama.

Absolutely. Such a great shame.

DMX: dead, man; extinct.

Greek and rap on the same day. What is this, a gyro?

[oy vey]

That's that stuff in cough syrup. Are they taking it off the shelves?

[Cerys]

Fucksakes, I took Phil off my list this year.  I don't think I've ever successfully picked an impending corpse.  Bah, etc.

Big Brother contestant Nikki Grahame, 38, possibly eating disorder-related. I didn't know much about her but this is very sad:

[bgmnts]

Oh god I remember her being a bit odd on that sick show. Pretty grim news.

[poo]

Very sad. A million times sadder than Phil.

Big Brother contestant Nikki Grahame, 38, possibly eating disorder-related. I didn't know much about her but this is very sad:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-56705671

She's struggled with anorexia since she was a child, it was brought up during her time on Big Brother, and she'd seemingly struggled with it off and on in the years since. But a couple of months ago her family posted a GoFundMe to try and raise funds to get her specialised treatment... the photo came up on my Twitter timeline and the images of her were scary. Obviously it was too late and things only for worse since.

Very sad news.

[JaDanketies]

I was in the same room as Nikki Graham 12 years ago and she was worryingly small even then.

She was a great character and this death is far too young and tragic.

[rue the polywhirl]

Yesterday it was a Prince. Today it’s a princess. Bit more torn up over today’s. Queen must be quaking it.

[Elderly Sumo Prophecy]

It's usually a heart attack with long term anorexia, isn't it?

[Bazooka]

It's usually a heart attack with long term anorexia, isn't it?

Yep.

[Blue Jam]

Heart failure due to cardiac muscle wastage, yes.

[jobotic]

Horribly sad. RIP

Shirley not!
Shirley Williams gone at 90. One of the Gang of Four (bass player, I think).

[Mr_Simnock]

Apparently, according to the BBC, she quit Labor in 1981 because of it's drift to the left, at least this centrist had the decency to just leave the party

[Voltan (Man of Steel)]

Helen McCrory dead at 52. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-56770593

[bgmnts]

Aww gutting, I enjoyed her in everything I saw her in.

[Blue Jam]

I enjoyed her in everything I saw her in.

Same. This is horrible news.

harry potter actor...

[Phoenix Lazarus]

harry potter actor...

Your point being...?

[bgmnts]

harry potter actor...

I didn't know this.

Glad she's dead, now.

[jobotic]

Your point being...?

Don't want to speak for him but maybe the fact that anyone with any connection whatsoever to Harry Potter is described in that way, like it was the only thing thing of interest about them.

RIP

[Blue Jam]

Yes, it's a shame that so many great British actors are described as "Harry Potter actor" in biographies and obituaries just because they've all been in at least one of the numerous Harry Potter films. Richard Griffiths, Ralph Fiennes, Alan Rickman, David Tennant, Ashley Maguire, Helen McCrory. It aint fair.
