Eddie Large’s wife, Patsy McGinnis, has revealed she begged nurses to let her see him before he died, but wasn’t allowed in due to restrictions over coronavirus.
The comedian, who was one half of Little And Large with Syd Little, died aged 78 after contracting coronavirus while in hospital for heart failure.
Patsy revealed that she begged to see Eddie but wasn’t allowed due to the risk of infection, telling The Mirror: ‘I was saying “please… please”, but they said they couldn’t let anyone in. ‘It broke my heart I couldn’t be with him those last days.’ She’s also unsure whether she will be allowed to see Eddie’s body to say goodbye before his funeral, and his comedy partner Syd won’t be allowed to his funeral as rules currently state
