Bodger and Badger creator and actor Andy Cunningham has died following a “lengthy illness”, it has been reported.
Comedian Charmian Hughes paid tribute to Cunningham on Facebook, writing: “So sad to hear Andy Cunningham has died.
Cunningham played Simon Bodger in the classic children’s TV show Bodger and Badger, which focused on his antics with his animal friend, often involving mashed potato.
I last saw him at the Brighton fringe about three years ago and he was very mischievous in my audience.
