Sean Locke dead aged 58

I too was shocked when I saw it online earlier, another one taken too soon.

Such a very clever and funny man so astute in his political observations. RIP

What a shock when I read that! This week, I have lost a good friend to cancer, we here have lost Phoenix, and now Sean Locke, all far too young.

I'm sorry to hear about your friend Gill

Poor Sean and his wife and children.

Sean Locke was incredibly quick witted and very funny, quite the best thing about 8 out of 10 cats.

Very sorry to read he has died, 58 is no great age sadly

Very sad.One of my favourite panellists on 8 out of 10 cats and QI.Thoughts to his family.

So shocked and sad to hear this. He was so quick witted and funny. Poor man. So young. His poor family.

His soul flies free x

I too was very shocked to read this post.
I didn't see anything about him being ill.
His family must have wanted to keep it private.
I don't blame them.

Sean Lock a brilliant quick witted razor sharp stand up. Brilliant panel show captain and guest. Cats does countdown will never be the same again. Condolences to friends and family. RIP Sean you can't write tears ???

Because I don’t watch 8 out of 10 Cats anymore his name didn’t ring any bells. Then of course I saw some clips and realised I knew his face very well. Such a funny and seemingly genuinely nice man. Very sad.

Genuinely funny man. So sad and 58 is so young ?. RIP Sean and thank you for all the laughs.

I admit I shed a tear. I have an adult son with ASD and we bond through comedy. I love to hear him laugh and Sean made him laugh a lot. He will be a huge loss to his family and friends. Such a shock to us.

He was such a funny chap. Dh and myself saw a recording of QI where he was one of the panel and he had us in stitches, both on & off camera. Also saw him in one of his stand-up shows in London.
A great loss.

So sad, loved him in Mock the Week and 8 out of 10 Cats. Only 58, so young. Such a funny guy who will be missed.

So so sad - he was one of the funny guys, naturally funny. Loved him on cats do countdown - 58 is no age / cancer is a cruel disease!

Such sad news about Sean Locke,i was shocked to say the least.
A genuine funny man and a genuine nice man.
My heart goes out to his family and friends.
RIP Sean,you will be missed so much.

Very shocked - I’d only been watching an old episode of 8/10 cats the previous evening. A cruel disease.

I’ve only just discovered 8 out of 10 cats and was enjoying watching the old repeats but can’t now because things like this really get to me. So I switched over from a repeat of 8 out of 10 cats last night (even though he wasn’t actually in it) only to find myself watching a film starring Heath Ledger and couldn’t watch that either. Sean was absolutely brilliant.

I was very sad to hear this. He has been living with cancer for many years apparently. Which just goes to show that you can live with this disease and have a very fulfilling life. RIP

I was very sad to hear this.
I really enjoyed his humour, and he seemed a decent sort, too.

I was very sad to hear of the passing of Sean Locke. I always watched 8/10 Cats does Countdown and found him a genuine funny man. RIP Sean, you will be missed

Rest in peace Sean and thankyou for the laughter.

I was very sad to hear this I also liked him,he was one of the rare comedians that made me laugh out loud, he also looked very much like my dad.
