Stars from the world of entertainment have paid tribute to Rotherham-born comedian Barry Chuckle following his death at the age of 73.
Along with brother Paul, Barry was one half of the Chuckle Brothers, who rose to fame in the late 1980s with the hit BBC show ChuckleVision. Chuckle – real surname Elliott – was born in Rotherham in 1944 to a showbusiness family.
The two brothers got their first break by winning the talent show Opportunity Knocks in 1967 and by the 1970s were regulars on the talent show New Faces. But it was a decade later that they really became household names with their BBC show and legendary catchphrase, ‘to me, to you.’
