The comedy performer, who owns a neighbouring holiday home to Bob's in Barbados, said: "The man was a genius and one of the last comic greats. "I feel very fortunate to have known him. I last saw him in Barbados when he told me he was over the worst and on the mend, so it's very sad that hasn't proved to be the case. He was a comic genius and also a true gentleman." ——————————————————————————————————2/4—— Anne Diamond on weight loss 141 C4 CHAT TO FOOTBALL FANS ACROSS THE UK SEE p596 Clips TV Plus Nat weather News
