    You never expect children's TV presenters to have real lives and problems, especially when they are the ones that you grew up with. You just identify them with after-school, meaningless programming. This is a simply tragic story for anyone.

    Tbh I've been expecting this since they said he was missing...
    It's still a goddamn shame though :(

    Like J said, you see these people on TV all the time and you never think about what sort of lives they actually lead...

    It's so crazy how one incident can screw over someone's whole life. Truly tragic, his family must be full of ifs and buts. RIP

    I wonder if my friend's band are still going ahead with their song about him that they were planning for their upcoming album :o They do love being tasteless but I rather hope it will be more a tribute than the mocking that they usually go for.

    Yeah, I was half expecting this aswell, but hoped he'd pull through.

    I don't even remember the presenters on CITV.. only that they were decidedly amateurish.
