The star of ITV shows Beadle’s About and You’ve Been Framed left his entire estate in trust for his 60-year-old wife Sue.

Beadle, 59, of Hadley Wood, Hertfordshire, who had leukaemia, died in hospital on January 30 from pneumonia. He left two daughters, Cassie, 21, and Bonnie, 19, and step-children Leo and Claire.

The presenter first found fame when he hosted Game For A Laugh in the early Eighties.

He regularly had 15 million viewers for Beadle’s About, which ran from 1987 to 1996 and became the world’s longest continuously running hidden camera show.

Beadle also wrote and presented You’ve Been Framed, the show featuring funny home videos.

Once dubbed “the most hated man in Britain” by critics, he raised an estimated £100million for good causes and was a strong supporter of Children with Leukaemia. He was made an MBE in 2001 for his charity work.

Beadle also helped children suffering from Poland syndrome, the condition that left him with a withered hand.

Probate records show that Beadle left £1,998,961.
