Loving pictures show the touching bond between Duncan Norvelle and his partner who has paid a touching tribute to the late comedian whose 'camp routines' fell out of favour with TV chiefs. The comedian, known for his catchphrase 'Chase me', died in hospital surrounded by his loved ones on Thursday after suffering from a chest infection and sepsis.

His partner Lynn Trevallion said she never realised 'how much' she loved him until his death and recalled how he wanted to get back on stage after his stroke in 2012 to prove he could 'make them laugh' still. 'I just wanted another day with him, but I didn't want him back to suffer, he wasn't suffering, but I didn't want him just to linger,' she said.

'I loved him so much, I never realised how much I loved him really, you don't, do you until you lose someone?'. The comic, from Walton on the Wolds, was admitted to Pilgrim Hospital in Boston two weeks ago. He previously suffered a stroke in 2012 which paralysed his left side and meant he was unable to move his arm, but he could walk when supported with a stick.

Ms Trevallion recalled that one of his first comeback shows after his stroke was in memory of murdered soldier Lee Rigby, and his final time on stage raised money for stroke and prostate cancer charities.
