The star’s agent confirmed his death in a statement earlier today by saying: ‘It is with great sadness that we announce Tim’s death early today from COVID-19.’ Tim brought joy to many over the course of his career and worked alongside the likes of John Cleese, as well as his The Goodies co-stars, Bill Oddie and Graeme Garden.
