Jeremy James Anthony Gibson-Beadle MBE (12 April 1948 – 30 January 2008) was an English television and radio presenter, writer and producer. From the 1980s to the late 1990s he maintained a constant presence both on British television and radio, hosting various programmes in particular the hidden-camera show Beadle's About and home-movie clip show You've Been Framed!.
Alongside his media work, Beadle wrote and co-authored several books, and contributed greatly to raising funds for several charities, including those supporting disadvantaged children. His charity work was estimated to have raised millions for the causes he helped, and led to him earning an MBE in 2001.
Beadle's health began to decline by his fifties, receiving treatment for kidney cancer and later for leukemia, before dying from pneumonia in 2008 at the age of 59.
