Ronnie Corbett 'given motor neurone disease diagnosis'

Ronnie Corbett's wife has revealed the star had been battling suspected motor neurone disease before he died.

Anne Hart told The Daily Mail he had been diagnosed in March 2015 after he "started to feel unwell and found it hard to breathe and to lie down" around Christmas 2014.

She told the newspaper only family and close friends knew of his illness.


Sad to hear of that. I never watched The Two Ronnies but I remember watching Small Talk as a small child.

Not only one of our best comedians,but a very likeable man. The 'four candles' sketch when he played the exasperated
shopkeeper to Ronnie Barker's dim-witted customer is a classic
