Sean Lock fought advanced lung cancer in secret for a 'few years' says pal Bill Bailey

He died at home from cancer, surrounded by his family. Sean was one of Britain’s finest comedians, his boundless creativity, lightning wit and the absurdist brilliance of his work, marked him out as a unique voice in British comedy.

“Sean was also a cherished husband and father to three children.

“Sean will be sorely missed by all that knew him. We kindly request that the privacy of his family and children is respected at this difficult time.”

He is survived by his wife Anoushka Nara Giltsoff, his two daughters and son.
