Not that we thought ANY of the jokes that presenter Keith Chegwin ever told were “funny” – but apparently the ex-hubby of Maggie someone and the bloke who used to wake up knackered looking women on their doorstep sans make-up – has been blasted by comedians Simon Evans and Ed Byrne for stealing gags.

Cheggers took to Twatter yesterday, to respond to the accusations, claiming his jokes are so old they can’t be credited to writers, blaming the “the usual bunch of jealous comics”.

Simon Evans complained about Cheggers using a Milton Jones one-liner, which went: “My auntie Marge has been ill for so long we changed her name to ‘I can’t believe she’s not better’.”

Altogether now. Arf.

Irish stand-up with bad bangs, Ed Byrne said: “I think you’re wrong not crediting your sources. Of the last four jokes you tweeted one was Milton Jones and one was Lee Mack. Both working comics.”

Chegwin then wrote: “Most of the gags are my very own and original. Others are so old I’m not gonna start crediting dead people?

“Look If I do a gag. I’m not worried – if you nick it for yourself. Good on ya… so long as it gives people a chuckle. Life is too short.”

We see his point, but a lil’ namecheck might be a good thang eh.
