Another one from my childhood!

To people my age, he was the 'main man' on Multicoloured Swap Shop and 'Cheggers Plays Pop' as well as many other programmes over the years. he was also in several Children's Film Foundation films, and The Liverbirds and Black Beauty, amongst many others. More recently, he appeared on 'The Big Breakfast' and It's A Knockout.

Keith died today aged just 60, due to 'a progressive lung condition'.

I was very sad to see that news item. For me he was very much a face from my childhood. I saw him on TV recently when watching an episode of Open All Hours. I believe he uttered the words 'Have you got a Frozen Zoom?'.

Very sad news. RIP Keith Chegwin.

Very sorry to hear this. I have fond memories of watching Multi-Coloured Swap Shop and Cheggers Plays Pop as a child. RIP Keith Chegwin.

Yes, just heard this on the news. No age at all only 60. R.I.P.

My children are all in mourning. They have many memories of watching his TV shows. R.I.P. Cheggers.

Came across as a lovely guy. I was a bit too young to properly appreciate what was going on in Cheggers Plays Pop, but even at that tender age I noticed that the presenter seemed constantly cheerful and friendly.

I was so sad to hear this - R.I.P Keith.

Sad news. I remember his programmes very well. 60 is way too young. RIP.

He always came across as a friendly, likeable guy with bags of energy. 60 is far too young.

I remember watching him when I was a kid ... sorry to hear that he has died so young.

So sad to hear that Keith Chegwin has passed away. Like others, he was part of my TV childhood. 60? No age at all. R.I.P. KC.
