Bobby had been taken to the hospital for tests as he started with breathing problems. At first it was thought to be a chest infection but a test proved positive for Covid-19. His wife, Yvonne, said the hospital and staff could not have been more wonderful, as they were outstanding in their care of duty and they did everything possible for him and she cannot praise them enough. The Cannon and Ball Show was first broadcast on ITV in 1979 and it continued to air until 1988, garnering huge audiences. Bobby Ball (left) and Tommy Cannon. They met on the shop floor as welders.

Leading the tributes online, the comic Jason Manford said he was “so heartbroken” and “the comedy community is a poorer place without him”. The presenter Les Dennis described Ball as “a true entertainer with real funny bones”. Bobby Ball, one half of the comedy double act Cannon and Ball, has died at the age of 76 after testing positive for coronavirus. In an interview in 2014, Ball recalled falling out with Cannon for three years in the 1980s. “We started on the shop floor as welders, we went through 18 years in the clubs and then we got big … We were surrounded by all these people who were gossiping. They wanted to divide and conquer and instead of sitting down and saying ‘what’s wrong?’, we stopped speaking,” he said.The pair later made up, and both became devout Christians, eschewing the hedonistic lifestyle they had enjoyed at the height of their fame. In 2015 it was reported that Ball had begun giving comedy lessons to vicars so they could liven up their sermons. Ball was born Robert Harper on 28 January 1944. A keen amateur singer, he found fame on the comedy circuit and later with The Cannon and Ball Show alongside his lifelong friend Tommy Cannon. Dale described Ball as “a true comedy star who loved entertaining people and he loved life itself. I spoke to him every day and it would always end in laughter.”

She said that the family and Tommy would like to express their sincere thanks to the many, many people who have been fans of Bobby and they know that they will all share in part the great loss and total sadness that Yvonne, the family and Tommy all feel.”
