LITTLE BRITAIN'S Matt Lucas' Ex-Partner Commits Suicide

Little Britain Star Matt Lucas suffered a terrible heatbreak this week when former partner Kevin McGee committed suicide in his flat.

Reportedly, McGee, a television producer, hanged himself after writing a suicide note on his Facebook page.  The pair had divorced 10 months ago after six years together.  In the suicide note, McGee wrote: 'Kevin McGee thinks that death is much better than life.'

His family believes that the break-up with Lucas escalated McGee's drug use, which ultimately led to the death.  

Devastated by the news, Lucas has pulled out of his West End play Prick Your Ears until further notice.

Matt Lucas is best known for his work with David Walliams in the television show Little Britain and spoof interview series Rock Profile, as well as for his portrayal of the surreal scorekeeping baby George Dawes in the Reeves and Mortimer comedy panel game Shooting Stars. In May 2007, Lucas was placed 8th in the list of the UK's 100 most influential gays and lesbians, in fields as diverse as entertainment, business, politics, and science, by the British newspapers The Independent and The Daily Mail.
