Frank Skinner was unable to hold back tears as he paid tribute to his former co-host Gareth Richards live on air. Comedian Richards, who appeared alongside Skinner on his Absolute Radio show from 2009 to 2011, died on Friday (7 April), 11 days after he was involved in a serious car collision.

Skinner grew emotional as he spoke about Richards’ accident on his Absolute Radio show last week and, returning to the airwaves on Sunday (9 April) morning, shared the sad update about “our former colleague and dear friend”.

Speaking slowly, Skinner said: “There’s been lots of beautiful messages about Gareth and his family have been very kind to us and kept us informed about the details of his struggle.
