Some truly sad news. Red Dwarf actor Craig Charles has sadly lost his older brother, Dean Charles, this week on Tuesday just gone of an unexpected Heart Attack aged 52, two years older then Craig himself.

Craig is currently in Australia in the latest series of ITV show 'I'm a Celebrity, get me out of here'. According to the Sun newspaper, it's believed Craig was informed of his elder brothers death last night, and for obvious reasons, may have to leave the aforementioned ITV series as a contestant on the show.

Craig's only other brother, the youngest of the three Charles brothers, Emile Charles, is still alive and well, and appeared alongside Craig as a younger Dave Lister in the Red Dwarf episode 'Timeslides'.



My thoughts go to Craig Charles, his brother Emile and their family and friends at this difficult time in their lives. It's even horrible to lose their eldest brother when you realize that Christmas is just around the corner, making this their first without him.

R.I.P. DEAN CHARLES [1962 TO 2014]

I've just logged in to Twitter...and the amount of love and support for Craig is unbelievable...well done everyone. I couldn't watch him saying goodbye on I'm A Celeb tonight, it would of been too much. I'm glad he's making his way home to his family...massive thoughts go out to them all.
