Award-winning comedian Sean Lock has died from cancer, his agents confirmed on Wednesday. He was 58 years old.

In recent years, Lock was best known for leading a team on U.K. broadcaster Channel 4’s comedy show “8 Out of 10 Cats,” hosted by Jimmy Carr. He also appeared on shows including “Have I Got News For You” and the Stephen Fry-hosted “QI,” and co-hosted “The Big Fat Quiz of the Year” alongside James Corden.According to a BBC report, Lock had previously battled skin cancer, which he blamed on his brief former career working on building sites, during which he spent much time in the sun.

“It’s heartbreaking to lose my dearest friend Sean Lock,” Bailey wrote on Twitter. “He was a true original, a wonderful comic. All my thoughts are with his family.”
