An endlessly playful energy exuded from him - it was infectious. All-consuming. Awe-inspiring. Addictive.

I miss Rik’s irreverent humour more than ever Today marks 10 years since the death of inimitable comedy genius Rik Mayall. 10 long years . I’m not over it. In fact, a decade on, I miss Rik’s irreverent humour more than ever. In interviews after his recovery from a near-fatal quad bike accident in April 1998, Rik Mayall revealed that his family had dubbed that day ‘Crap Thursday’. The crash happened the day before Good Friday, and Rik had remained in a coma until Easter Monday.

It’s often said that you shouldn’t meet your heroes but I had the honour of meeting Rik on several occasions , and he never disappointed. Rik was generous with his time. He made you feel special, he’d embrace you in a life-affirming hug, if female fans offered him their breasts to sign , he’d gladly oblige while flashing his trademark pervy grin. He’d fall to his knees pretending to give male fans fellatio – anything for the giggle, especially when there was a camera around.
