Bill Bailey and Lee Mack began a 100-mile charity walk on Wednesday in honour of their 'genuine and loyal' friend Sean Lock after his death from cancer. The Never Mind the Buzzcocks star, 57, and the game show host, 53, will walk from Bude in Cornwall to Combe Martin in Devon - which was one of Sean's favourite walks. 8 Out Of 10 Cats star, Sean, died aged 58 on August 16 2021 surrounded by his family at home, after a secret battle with lung cancer.
Speaking of the late comedian, Bill said: 'He loved the outdoors and one of his favourite things was to go on walks. We used to walk for miles. 'We'd talk about everything, Sean was brilliant company.
I'll be going with Sean's family and his pals that have known him for many years. 'It's a chance for us to tell stories and remember him,' he added, and confirmed that the walk will start in Cornwall. 'Speaking about his friend he said: 'We met doing comedy, we met at a gig somewhere in west London.
'He was one of those comics that all the other comics turned out to see, he had a totally original and unique style. And he was funny offstage as well as on. 'He was just very genuine and a loyal friend and a great sort of confidante, as well as being a great friend.
'Taking to his JustGiving page Bill penned: 'Every penny donated will help Macmillan to provide emotional, physical and financial support for people living with cancer in the UK. ' The page had already raised £57,000 ahead of the walk and is now sitting at £70,714, Bill added of the support: 'It's wonderful. I’m sort of knocked out by the response really.
