Fawlty Towers icon Andrew Sachs – who played bumbling waiter Manuel in the iconic show – has sadly passed way.
The star, whose legendary performance in the timeless TV sitcom still raises laughs to this day, passed aged 86 after a private battle with dementia, which marked the final four years of his life.
His wife and devoted carer Melody said: ‘My heart has been broken every day for a long time.’
RIP, Andrew.
