Glyn Worsnip

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Glyn Worsnip (2 September 1938 - 7 June 1996) was a British radio and television presenter. He was most famous for his appearances on That's Life! (where he was teamed with Kieran Prendiville from 1973 to 1978) and on Nationwide.

He contracted the brain disease cerebellar ataxia in 1986. As a result, his speech became slurred and the BBC fired him in 1987 following complaints from listeners. He made a programme, A Lone Voice, about his struggle with the disease, which was broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in March, 1988 but broadcast very little thereafter. He died in 1996.
