It is with the deepest regret that we announce our dear friend and client Jeremy Beadle, MBE has passed away after a short battle with pneumonia.

In 2005, Jeremy was diagnosed with cancer, but did not let the condition affect his day to day life. In the autumn of 2007 he released 3 new books and, prior to his illness, was busy working on a series of television formats. 

Jeremy was one of ITV's biggest ever stars, with Beadle's About and You've Been Framed regularly pulling in audiences in excess of 15 million.

Throughout his life, Jeremy was one of the most significant fundraisers for Children with Leukaemia and is estimated to have raised over £100 million for charities of all description. He was awarded an MBE in 2001.

Jeremy helped establish MPC as one of the foremost entertainment companies in the UK. We had some unforgettable times together and he was a very close friend to me and my family.

Our heartfelt condolences go to his wife Sue, his two daughters Cassie and Bonnie and his step children Leo and Claire. He will be greatly missed.

Michael P. Cohen,
Chief Executive
MPC Entertainment
