Frank Skinner cried on his radio show after revealing his former co-host Gareth Richards is fighting for his life.
Today on Absolute Radio, the comedian broke down as he broke the tragic news.
Gareth was in a serious car accident this week.
"One thing you have to learn to do in this line of work is out on a false front and the show must go, that's what happened this morning," Frank said on the Saturday morning show.
He told co-host Emily Dean: "For 14 years, Emily and I have done this show's pilot, which was terrible. I couldn't.
"We invited Gareth Richards, who was great on her, to the next one. I, Em, and Gareth for the first few years.
"I toured with him. Gareth and Emily are very close."
Frank added: "Gareth had a serious road accident this week. He's hospitalised and fighting. I couldn't do this show without mentioning him."
Frank requested prayers for Gareth.
"Great guy. If any of you pray, please pray for Gareth this week "he said.
A heartfelt Emily added, "We love you, Gareth."

A Prayer for GARETH RICHARDS and for Those Who Love Him
O Divine Force of the Living and the Dead, approve of GARETH RICHARDS, whom we trust has entered this day into your realm. Award harmony, light, and everlasting youth to him who has been taken from us while still a kid. May he always be aware of the tinge of your affection and the gleam of your light in your vast domain. Look delicately upon his family, whose hearts are overburdened with distress. Stroll with them; console them; encompass them with heavenly messengers to lift them from the profundity of their grievous misfortune. At long last, look generously upon our Focal Catholic People group. We stand as a family in our moments of triumph and bliss; give us the mental strength to remain as a family now, despite our lack of GARETH RICHARDS. May we console each other with expressions of confidence, trust, and love. Persuade our hearts that everything works for the good of those who trust in God. So be it.
Who is GARETH RICHARDS?
