Fans of The Vicar of Dibley were devastated to learn on Tuesday (January 11) that cast member Gary Waldhorn, known for playing Councillor David Horton, has died.
The actor was one of the main stars of the hit comedy, playing the chairman of the parish council who often butted heads with Dawn French’s vicar.
The Vicar of Dibley, despite being a huge hit, actually only had three full series in 1994, 1997 and 1999.
However, it has aired numerous specials since then and remained a huge hit with viewers.
But where are the cast now?
Gary Waldhorn
Gary passed away at the age of 78.
He died on Monday, January 10, his son Josh confirmed to the BBC.
Aside from the Vicar of Dibley, his other TV shows included the 1980s and 90s favourites such as Brush Strokes, Lovejoy and Gallowglass.
Emma Chambers
The Vicar of Dibley always ended with Geraldine telling Alice Tinker a joke, with Alice always failing to understand the punchline.
She was a fan favourite character, so news of actress Emma Chambers’ death in 2018 devastated many.
Emma died of a heart attack aged just 53.
