Why he might be annoying
He said he was 'a bit geeky' in college.
Although he hosted several property makeover shows, he said he had 'no idea' of the stress involved until he built his own home.
He reportedly died from auto-erotic asphyxiation gone wrong.
That death probably won't help his professed desire to be a gay role model.
Why he might not be annoying
He discussed his struggle with dyslexia in the documentary 'Hiding the Truth: i Can't Read.'
He won a Junior BAFTA for his film 'Words of Deception.'
A BBC spokesman said, 'He brought a real sense of energy and warmth to all the shows he presented for us.'
He said, 'I don't have to do innuendo and keep referring to my sexuality all the time and making it blatantly obvious that I am gay, because it's not that important.'
