Entertainer Des O'Connor has died at the age of 88, his agent has confirmed.
The comedian, singer and TV host died on Saturday following a fall at his home in Buckinghamshire just over a week ago.
He was known hosting Take Your Pick as well as Countdown and for his friendship with Morecambe and Wise.
In a statement his agent said he was "well loved by absolutely everybody" and "loved life".
His longtime agent and family friend Pat Lake-Smith described him as the "ultimate entertainer" and said he had been recovering from the fall before his condition had suddenly deteriorated.
