A fan responded to a Twitter question of What celebrity death was the most unexpected? and mentioned Paul Chuckle.

The 75-year-old entertainer from Rotherham simply retweeted the response with ?? signifying his confused response.

Others who spotted the mix up were quick to joke. One person tweeted: Im sure Paul Chuckle was very surprised to hear hes dead.

Another wrote: Hes already replied saying thats news to me... to you.

Whilst people stepped in to correct the mistaken fan, one user simply explained: Its Barry that died, not Paul.

The Chuckle Brothers double act comprised of brothers Barry Elliot and Paul Elliot who found themselves in comedy capers for theirBBCchildrens programme ChuckleVision. The TV show aired from 1987 until 2009, before going on to celebrate its twenty first anniversary with a tour in 2010.

The comedy show involved slapstick sketches and visual gags combined with their well known catchphrases of To me, to you! and Oh dear, oh dear!

The pair have been quieter for the past decade, with eldest brother Barry dying on 5 August 2018 from cancer. At the time, devastated brother Paul said: Ive not just lost my brother, Ive lost my theatrical partner of many, many years and my very best friend.

In an interview with Heat magazine, he added: Hes still in my dreams now. He never was when he was alive, but from the day he died, hes been in my dreams.

When you do things in your dreams, youre normally on your own you know - seeing different people. But its usually me and Barry doing stuff now. The first live show I did after he passed away was a pantomime in Woking. I was standing at the side of the stage on opening night, and usually Barry would be on the opposite side to me.

And he wasnt - it was the first time I had ever been on stage on my own. I suddenly saw him there with his thumbs up, as if to say Go on Paul.

I walked out on stage and the place erupted. They were a brilliant audience - they lifted me straight up. I feel hes there all the time. Its nice.
