Paying tribute, he wrote: “I’m so sad to say that my gorgeous eldest brother has passed away. My big brother was my hero and my inspiration.

“Huw my darling I will miss you so much and am so glad I got to have you with me all my life.”

Huw was the oldest of three boys from from Carmarthen, South Wales and he was a barrister.

Wynne’ s other brother – Mark – is also a singer and the pair previously hosted a show called Sibling Rivalry together.

Speaking about his childhood, Wynne previously told The Times: “I was the youngest of three boys: one brother is a barrister and the other an opera singer.

“My father, David, was a council building inspector, and my half-Belgian mother, Elizabeth, was a hairdresser before she turned campaigner to save a local theatre.

“We lived in an end-of-terrace Victorian house with an outside loo.I didn’t go on a plane until I was 24.”

Wynne’s famous pals and fans rushed to offer him support, with one person commenting: “Thoughts and prayers with you!”

A second wrote: “So sorry for your loss.”

And a third added: “So very very sorry for your loss @wynneevans Much love and deepest condolences to you and your family at this time xx”
