Actor Mike Reid died last night from a suspected heart attack.
Mike was best known as Frank Butcher from BBC soap opera, Eastenders.
His agent David Hahn told the BBC his death came as a great shock as he had been in very good health.
He said: “Mike was in fine fettle. In fact only a couple of weeks ago we were having dinner over here.
“Mike that particular day went to see his consultant and had a full medical - and they gave him a clean bill of health.”
Mr Hahn paid tribute to Reid, who he described as “a very, very, very, funny” man.
He said: “He would see the funny side of any situation, no matter how black it was. Even now I’m sure he’s laughing.”
