Duncan Norvelle, a beloved comedian known for his iconic catchphrase "Chase me," has passed away at the age of 66. His passing was confirmed by his agent, who paid tribute to Norvelle's comedic genius and described him as a British icon ahead of his time.
Norvelle rose to fame in the early 1980s on the ITV variety show Saturday Royal, and went on to appear on popular shows such as Through the Keyhole and Celebrity Come Dine With Me. He also released an album titled Music From My Life, which was re-released by his agent.
His partner Linda also shared a tribute, revealing that Norvelle passed away peacefully from a chest infection and sepsis. She spoke of his love for show business and how he had made millions of people laugh in his lifetime. Linda also mentioned that she had never heard anyone say a bad thing about Norvelle.
A post on Norvelle's Facebook page, signed off by his partner Lynn, announced his passing and shared that he had passed away peacefully with his partner and daughter by his side. Funeral arrangements will be announced at a later date.
Tributes poured in from fans and friends, including Lizzie Cundy and EastEnders actor Stuart Antony, who described Norvelle as a comedy legend and one of the nicest people. Comedian Steve Royle, who had the privilege of working with Norvelle, also paid his respects and shared fond memories of their time together.
In 2012, Norvelle suffered two strokes which left him with difficulty walking and speaking. However, he was determined to recover and did not let the doctors' prognosis stop him. After 18 months in the hospital, Norvelle regained his speech and mobility and changed his outlook on life.
He is survived by his partner Linda and three children. The entertainment world has lost a true talent, but Norvelle's legacy will live on through his iconic catchphrase and the memories he created for millions of people.
