UK TV presenter Jeremy Beadle has died after continuing his battle against leukemia whilst also suffering from pneumonia.
Beadle was famed for his stints as presenter on 'Beadle's About' and 'You've Been Framed,'
and despite some negative media coverage, he was a well respected figure amongst TV stars.
After his diagnosis with cancer in 2005, Beadle worked 'tirelessly' for charities to help raise awareness and funds, his spokesperson said "Throughout his life, Jeremy was one of the most significant fundraisers for Children with Leukemia and is estimated to have raised over £100 million for charities of all description."
For his efforts in showbusiness and charity Beadle was awarded an MBE in 2001.
