The Morning's Gyles Brandreth has revealed he 'blames himself' for the death of legendary TV entertainer Rod Hull.
Rod, who was famed for his emu attacks on Michael Parkinson and several other famous faces, tragically died in 1999 after falling from the roof of his bungalow and suffering a severe skull fracture and chest injuries.
He was pronounced dead on arrival at hospital.
ITV star and former MP Gyles, 76, has now revealed that days earlier Rod had been complaining to him about his awful TV connection and he 'encouraged' him to 'get a ladder' and climb on the roof.
