- The estate includes his former north London home, valued at £1.8m, and two other properties worth a combined £2.15m.
- His family expressed immense pride, stating that housing vulnerability was an issue close to Hughes's heart due to his own struggles when starting his stand-up career in London.
- Shelter confirmed the generous donation would be vital for their work, enabling them to continue supporting people affected by the housing emergency.
