Comedian Joe Lycett's fake Sue Gray report posted to social media was fuelled by 'anger'
In a tweet on Friday, former Great British Sewing Bee Presenter said his best friend had died from cancer in the early stages of 2020.
Lycett said he had been a part-time carer for him and "watched him slip away" after being ill for a number of years. "But he died, at the start of lockdown, and I wasn't there because I was following the rules," he said. "And we had a tiny insufficient funeral, because we were following the rules, and I drove his kids away from that funeral back to Birmingham without any sort of wake, because we were following the rules, and it felt unnatural and cruel and almost silly, but we did it because we followed the rules," he said.
