Barry Humphries
Comedian Barry Humphries has died. He was 89.
Humphries injured himself in a fall earlier this year and was recently in hospital again in Sydney.
In a long, varied career Humphries was most famous for his creation Edna Everage. He was also known for his lecherous, grubby suited cultural attache Sir Les Patterson and elderly Sandy Stone.
Watch Barry Humphries on This Morning with Philip, sorry, Dermot O'Leary and Alison Hammond.
There has been some speculation about wheher this was a memory lapse or confusion over presenters but the consensus – certainly among comedians – is that this was an intentional prank from Humphries, confusing Dermot O’Leary with Philip Schofield, and is the kind of thing he has done in the past.
Dara O Briain tweeted: "Nothing accidental about this. Barry Humphries is a comedy legend; he knows what he’s doing."
