    That’s a shocker. Didn’t think he was that old either.

    RIP.

    I saw a thing on tv about him a while ago. I didn’t realise his mother committed suicide and he found the body. He’d struggled for years with depression and I hope his demise is natural causes.

    RIP big fella. Funny and saucy without ever going too far.

    RIP. One of the few openly gay celebrities at the time - certainly that I was really aware of. Used to love Supermarket Sweep as a kid.

    Oh Supermarket sweep was my first exposure to Dale. Like the Gong Show before it, it was so bad, it moved over into being BRILLIANT !

    RIP Dale, you gave us some good moments.

    What a legend, used to love watching supermarket sweep when I was off ill from school.

    RIP. As has been said, was probably my first exposure to an openly gay man on tv as a kid. For that he should be commended.

    So many far too young people dying. It reminds me that we should enjoy life while we can.

    He only came out in 2002, before then he was just himself and he only came out because he was asked about his sexuality
