A headline meaningful only to Britons of a certain age, and for all others a momentary visit to the strange alternative reality of UK childrens’ light entertainment in the 1970s and 1980s. Keith Chegwin is dead at 60.
Chegwin was known for hosting programmes including children’s game show Cheggers Plays Pop and Swap Shop. …
He went on to make infamous Channel 5 nudist gameshow Naked Jungle, appearing naked except for a hat, and also starred as himself in Ricky Gervais show Extras….
The larger-than-life character, described by his family as “a loving husband, father, son, brother, uncle and friend” leaves two children and his wife Maria. He had been cared for at a hospice in recent weeks.
