Paul Chuckle has paid a touching tribute to his late brother Barry on the second anniversary of his tragic death.
Sharing a tweet snap of the pair together, the Chucklevision star, 72, wrote a thoughtful message to mark the sad day he lost his older brother to cancer.
Taking to Twitter to honour Barry’s memory, heartbroken Paul – real name Paul Elliott – wrote: “Can’t believe its been two years already, 5 August 2018, miss you Baz,” alongside a broken heart emoji.
Fans and friends of The Chuckle Brothers rushed to pen a few thoughtful words in response.
Love Island narrator Iain Stirling wrote: “You two were such an inspiration to me when I started at CBBC and still are today. Thoughts with you and your family today x.”
Only Fools and Horses star John Challis penned some sweet words to Paul, writing: “My favourite pic with you both. Thinking of you today.”
While a fan wrote: “Met you both a couple of times over the years, grew up watching Chucklevision and loved your theatre shows. Still can’t believe he’s gone, he’ll be missed!”
Another added: “Thoughts are with you. You two were hilarious and brilliant to watch growing up. I think its now impossible to do a two man lift without saying ‘to me, to you then!'”
Comedian Barry passed away in August 2018 after losing his battle to bone cancer.
The British entertainer had kept his illness a secret from fans and friends as well as Paul, because he wanted to perform for as long as his body would allow him.
In an exclusive interview with Mirror Online, Paul admitted he sees Barry in his sleep following his tragic death.
He said: “He’s been in so many of my dreams since he passed, and I believe in the afterlife – it’s comforting he’s contacting me that way.”
“I talk about the good times with Sue, so I’m not just being upset, missing him. He wanted to work up until the end and he did it.
“I just miss those laughs we had on stage. I can’t fathom that we’ll never have that laugh together anymore.”
