Richard 'Griff' Griffiths from BBC's The Call Centre has died

Tributes have been paid to one of the stars of popular reality show The Call Centre, Richard Griffiths, who has died aged 53. Known to many as 'Griff' he was a well-known face in Swansea and loved by many for his comedic disposition. He sadly died on November 10.

Mr Griffiths was one of the standout characters of the BBC Three show, which followed the day-to-day goings on at the Swansea Enterprise Park-based company Save Britain Money. His popularity was in large part due to his many jokes and quips and the documentary even saw him leave his job to pursue his ambition of becoming a comedy promoter.

Mr Griffiths, who had four children, was also known for his history of comedy prank calls – one of which won a comedy award in Belgium. He was also known for his tireless work behind the scenes to grow Swansea Footgolf, located in Blackpill, which sees the games of football and golf combined across nine or 18 holes.
