This news has stunned me. Partly because it was so unexpected at his age, but also I think this is the first death of someone I've grown up being a big fan of. Very sad news :(

That's really sad & unexpected, I wasn't a huge fan of 8 out of 10 cats, but he was head & shoulders the funniest on there. I really liked his humour and he seemed like a charismatic guy to be around.

Years ago I used to regularly listen to the comedy shows on Radio 4 while driving. One of my favourites was 15 Minutes of Misery, about a miserable bloke who lived in a tower block.

Reading an obituary just now, I’ve discovered the star character was played by Sean Lock. For that alone I’ll remember him with great fondness.

Feck, this came as a complete shock :( Him getting challenged to eat all the whelks on Countdown is one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

RIP to one of the funniest men on TV.

Horrible news, loved watching the guy, went to see him in stand up at the Edinburgh Festival & he was brilliant. If I'm struggling to find something to watch lying in bed, finding a rerun of Cats does Countdown is my go to programme.

Genuinely gutted. One of my favourite ever comedians and I didn't even know he was sick.

Always a funny bloke on 8 out of 10 cats and on countdown.

Carrot in a box has to be one of the best bluffs ever filmed.

Awful news. Feels very unexpected. It's very sad to read comments from other comedians and fans of his, who all held him in high regard. :(

One of the few present day comedians that was genuinely funny. I didn't know he was ill. RIP

Great Comedian, and a true Gent

really hurts this one, I think it’s because it’s a figure that has actually brought joy to me and many others lives too

He’s had me and my family cry tears flooding the hell out of our house through laughter, creating moments of pure joy, and no doubt in many other households too, probably the greatest gift you can give to someone

He was a comedian so his job was to be funny, but he was probably the most naturally funny person in the comedy world and in general, he had a great mind too and way of seeing things

Thoughts are with his family

RIP Sean Lock

Not many people are that funny and we don't need less funny in the world.

Pain in the arse news.

I went through a spell about a year ago of watching all of his stuff that I could because he was so unique and funny.

"That's a challenging wank" will always be one of my favourite lines from him. RIP
