Subject: Keith Chegwin: UK Television presenter dies aged 60

Written By: Philip Eno on 12/11/17 at 8:46 am

Veteran TV presenter Keith Chegwin has died aged 60 after a long illness, his family says. They said he had endured a "long-term battle with a progressive lung condition" which "rapidly worsened towards the end of this year". He died at home on Monday with his family by his side, who said they were "heartbroken". Chegwin was known for hosting programmes including children's game show Cheggers Plays Pop and Swap Shop.

Reading his obit in The Times today and I learned Cheggers had been in Kenny - the group that performed The Bump.  Been singing that song all day

That is new to me, is it an urban myth, similar to Bob Holness playing the saxophone on Gerry Rafferty's "Baker Street".
