Barry left behind younger brother Paul, who starred alongside him as Britain’s favourite children’s comedy duo, and older brothers Jimmy, 86, and Brian, 83.
‘We’ve known for a while Barry was very ill’ Brian told The Sun.
‘I drove up this week and saw him for two hours. We knew the end was very near. He was on morphine but we chatted. I gave him a kiss goodbye at the end. There were tears, of course.’

Comedy duo: Veteran entertainer Barry, one half of the Chuckle Brothers, died on Sunday aged 73, following a battle with heart disease
‘Up until this last year he’d been fine. But he’s been a smoker all his life. It’s been very rough. Especially keeping it from people.’
He died peacefully at his home surrounded by his loved ones, his manager Phil Dale said.
