Hughes was reportedly suffering from liver cirrhosis and passed away at Whittington Hospital in North London after he was admitted with the condition.
Many fellow comics, colleagues and close friends have since taken online to pay tribute:
I think Sean would be surprised by amount of love for him. We had some chats and kinship about fickle nature of fame…
