Russ Abbot, 75, has reportedly become a recluse due to his hit shows no longer airing on TV.
Les Dennis claims the comedian has "given up now" and become "a bit disillusioned" with the showbiz world so doesn't work anymore.
The former Family Fortunes host, 69, who worked with Russ on various projects over the years, is said to have declared it outrageous his friend has been forgotten about given how good his comedy output was.
