Leslie Phillips, a veteran actor best remembered for using the catchphrases “Ding Dong,” “Well, Hello,” and “I Say” in the raunchy “Carry On” films, has passed away at the age of 98.
He spent eight decades in show business before passing away on Monday following a protracted illness.
Leslie Phillips won over a new generation of fans as The Sorting Hat in the Harry Potter movies in addition to the Carry On movies.
He passed away yesterday “peacefully in his sleep,” according to his agent Jonathan Lloyd.
His wife Zara paid tribute to him by saying: “I’ve lost a beautiful husband and the public has lost a truly terrific showman.
“He was quite simply a national treasure. People loved him. He was mobbed everywhere he went. “When we married he cheekily introduced me to the Press as royalty, insisting I was the new Zara Phillips and that I was related to the Queen.”
