He will be missed
That kind of sucks.
Beadles mum used to live in my village, and he'd often be seen in the shops and streets etc.
Never saw him myself, mind you, and I don't know if she lives here any more (or if she's even alive).
Jeremy Beadle took a bit of stick, what with his hand etc, but everyone loved him really. He was a staple of prime-time telly when I was a lad, and to the end he was as hard-working as ever. As Sinsin said he did a lot of work for lukemia, having suffered himself.
He will truly be missed. :'(
Oh come on, he's just in the middle of filming his new series of Beadle's About.
"Now what we told you was that I had died. What we didn't tell you, however, was that actually I'm still alive."
My parents were in a restaurant with him once, apparently he was a dick.

But on the other hand...
The Sun went for "Beadle's Not About"
Charming.
I have the same sentiments about this that I have about the death of Heath Ledger, it is sad that someone is dead, but I didn't know them, and they didn't influence me, so I am not sad. Just as they weren't sad when people I know died.

Hahaha, thats great :D Beadle was a legend for me as a young person, not even for Beadle's About but for his appearance on You've Been Framed, which I admit I watched avidly every week when I was younger ;) He did a lot of work for charity too, so it is a shame he's died. Still, I know a lot of people enjoyed his earlier pranks, and I remember several people saying to me; watch out, beadles about! when I found 50p on the floor etc LOL.

Gen-gen is slowly becoming a memorial board for celebrity deaths.
