Larry Madowo is leaving us. He is leaving us for greater glory. This news is not about his health or any such thing.

No, it is about him stopping to use for a while.

For us tabloids and fans alike, it will be a sad loss to take as the man is a constant source of wonderful fodder for the rumour and gossip mills.

He made this sudden announcement on his Twitter account and as one can expect it was. I know I exaggerate! This is the tweet that he posted earlier today:

I'm taking some time away from social media from now to live like a caveman. I'll still be on TV and the paper, maybe other places too

— Larry Madowo, first of his name (@LarryMadowo)

Some of the vicious and sometimes mildly supportive responses are below:

And you tell us this because.??
