    She married him in 1988.
    28 years marriage is more than gold digging.
    And now is hardly the time to be cracking jokes.

    In fairness she put in 30+ years, shes no Jerry Hall.

    RIP Paul, the Ant and indeed the Dec of my young Saturday nights. Well, him and Game for a Laugh...

    What a mean spirited comment. They are married donkeys years and were clearly a very devoted couple.

    Totally unjustified, ill timed and downright unnecessary unfunny comment.

    That is a well documented joke mate, its been doing the rounds for years.

    IIRC, it was Mrs Merton (Caroline Ahern) that asked this in an interview. Daniels and Magee took it in the light hearted mqnner it was intended.

    Never a fan but RIP nonetheless.

    I see Cliff Michelmore has died as well. Charming man, though as my wife said "Didn't realise he was still alive".

    Just after seeing this on the BBC, actually slightly welling up. One of my memories of Saturday night as a kid.

    So many stars from that era are no longer with us.

    Condolences to Debbie, and all your family and friends Paul.

    RIP.

    :(

    I see he has finally pulled off the ultimate disappearing trick.
    One of the few TV stars from my childhood that didn't have any mud flung his way, a true gentleman.
    RIP

    I wondered who would put this on the first page.

    Well done for being contemptibly predictable.

    RIP Paul Daniels.

    Use to watch him on the TV as a child, loved his show back then.
    He gave a lot of enjoyment to people, may he rest in peace.

    I remember watching Cliff Michelmore when I was a nipper and he had a baldy head back then!

    Frank Sinatra Jr has also died.

    Ffs some of the "jokes" are here are sick

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    I know the Mrs Merton joke. I watched Debbie laugh on the day.

    I'm talking about the smart ass comment "I hope he leaves it to the dogs home". I don't recall that being said as part of the interview?

    Someone's lost their husband of almost 30 years and someone hopes he leaves his money to the dogs home??

    A joke is a joke but that sniping is not needed. It's not in the least bit funny either.

    That was quick, but merciful in a sense. He was only diagnosed 3 weeks ago.

    Another good 'un bites the dust. RIP. Loved Louis Theroux's twitter post on his passing.
    RIP Paul Daniels, a thoughtful skeptic, enemy of hucksterism and paranormal flimflam, and gifted magician.

    Very sad news, may he rest in peace. Condolences to his family. Mercifully it wasn't a drawn out painful death. Seen him only last week on Family Fortunes on 3e, it was from a few years ago. He was in good form, funny and witty.
