Simon Shelton Barnes, who played Tinky Winky in the children's TV show, Teletubbies, was tragically found dead in unusual circumstances back in 2018, just weeks after moving home
An actor who played Tinky Winky in the iconic BBC children's TV series, Teletubbies, tragically passed away just weeks after relocating from London for a fresh start, according to a close friend.
He had relocated to Liverpool with hopes of a new beginning and possibly a career change. Jane shared that Simon wanted to escape the distractions of London, which were hindering his productivity, reports the Mirror. Another friend said: "I'm gobsmacked at losing him. He was charming and handsome and delicate and so lovely to be around. He wasn't difficult, he was pleasurable and a delicate man."
Simon, who was related to TV stars Robert Daws and Emily Atack, left his family in mourning. Robert expressed the difficulty of the situation: "It's been a very tough week and we are all trying to look after the family as best we can."
