Richard Whiteley very sadly and prematurely died #OTD in 2005 at the age of only 61. His terrible jokes and even more terrible puns were a staple of Countdown back in the day. But he was occasionally brought almost to tears with laughter by jokes sent in by the fans at home 👇

I think snooker people the world over will know what I mean when I say I was gutted to be asked to go on BBC News this afternoon.

I hope I did a tiny bit of justice to one of snooker's most beloved characters, the irreplaceable John Virgo.

You cannot imagine how excited I was a kid to watch John Virgo do his silly snooker impressions at the World Championships every year. I was into them more than the snooker.

Probably not a good look to cry while travelling on a train this morning. RIP JV
