Egghead and quiz master legend Dave Rainford's last Facebook has emerged.
Pals of the 49-year-old said it showed the genial nature of the tea time quizzer as well as shedding light on Dave's health issues at the time of his death.
It isn't clear when Dave died but his last post on the social networking site was March 2.
Jeremy Vine and Chaser Anne Hegerty led the tributes to the quizzer.
Dave's last Facebook read: "What a disgrace that the lift wasn’t working at the Palace Theatre last night. It was impossible for me to get access to my seat. The b*****ds upgraded it to a free box and gave us free drink all night.”
Pal Tim Shires said the post was typical of Dave's sense of optimis.
“Dave Rainford was one of life’s genuine nice guys," he wrote.
"Still can’t get over todays news he has passed away. Just a few days ago he posted this on Facebook. He never let any obstacles get in his way and kept a sense of humour throughout," he added.
It was unclear how Dave died but the post shows he was finding it difficult to walk.
Dave was a regular on the BBC tea time quiz show but was forced to leave last year following an unconfirmed illness.
When viewers began to notice the absence of the fan favourite, Dave took to Twitter to clear up the rumours.
In August he tweeted: "Brand new Eggheads starting on Monday. I was still recuperating when these programmes were recorded, but I can promise you that there are some great shows coming up with excellent challengers that will keep you on the edge of your seats. Keep watching."
Dave landed a part on the quiz show following an appearance on Who Wants to be a Millionaire in 2015, where he came away with £250,000.
He was then asked to replace former Egghead star CJ de Mooi.
Dave's last tweet came in December 29 when he congratulated his Eggheads colleague Pat Gibson on winning a competition.
"Congratulations to my Eggheads colleague Pat Gibson, who fought off the stiffest opposition to become television's Quizmaster. You need stupendous knowledge to be a quiz champion like him. Well done Pat," wrote Dave.
