Freddie’s posted “Hello everyone hopes everyone is ok? Me yes I’m ok getting tired more now but otherwise, I’m doing good." He added: "I just have to say thank you all from the bottom of my heart for all the kind comments and messages it really does mean a lot so thank you to each and every one of you thanks so much. Freddie."

Freddie was accused of historic sex attack and was hit with a legal bill of £960,000 in 2015. He suffered from health problems and was a chain smoker. The comedian also had a quadruple heart bypass following a heart attack in 2010.
