Children's TV star and cartoonist Tony Husband has sadly died after suffering a heart attack on a bridge. The 73 year old, who was also known for his work with Private Eye, was on his way to the magazine's party in London when he collapsed on Westminster Bridge. Despite a quick response from emergency services, they were unable to save him.
Tony, who was born in Blackpool, had a successful career that included appearances on the BBC's children's variety show Hangar 17 – that featured bands including Take That and East 17 – in the 1990s and writing for ITV's satirical 90s children's TV show Round The Bend!. His work was also featured in The Times, Punch, Playboy and The Sunday Express. His son Paul shared the heartbreaking news on Facebook, saying: "I don't know what more I can say other than he was everything to me.
It's somewhat ironic that he somehow managed to survive 30 years of Private Eye parties but this one he didn't make". Paul also took to Twitter to share the sad news, writing: "It is with a torn apart heart that I must announce the passing of my dad." Private Eye later paid tribute to Tony on the platform, saying: "RIP cartoonist Tony Husband - prolific, funny and inventive contributor to Private Eye since 1985." Among those paying their respects to the talented artist was author and former Pointless star Richard Osman. He said: "So sad to hear of the death of the wonderful cartoonist Tony Husband, a man whose work has made me laugh so many times.

This idea that this is a united group who embody, if you like, the best of British family life,” he said on the Mirror’s “Pod Save The King” podcast.“Originally King Charles III’s reign was going to be based around him being supported by his two trusty lieutenants — William and Harry.”“But when that went so disastrously wrong in early 2020 because of Harry and Meghan’s decision to leave Britain, it really put paid to that vision of the family monarchy,” he added.Owens, who wrote “After Elizabeth: Can the Monarchy Save Itself?” continued, “And then of course we’ve had the Sussexes airing their dirty laundry in public for the best part of three years — and again it has done much damage to that narrative of happy family life.”“So why not, as I suggest in my book, do away with this family narrative once and for all?
