Call My Bluff host leaves £5.6 million in will

Probate assets of £5.6 million have been left by Call My Bluff host Robert Robinson in his will.

The 83-year-old BBC broadcaster died in August, leaving the entirety of his estate to his wife Josee, reports the Daily Mail.

He is believed to have made some prudent financial investments during his five-decade career, in which he also presented gameshow Ask The Family.

Robinson's fortune enabled him to buy a house in Cheyne Row, Chelsea, where houses can cost millions to buy.

Last month, it emerged that a lucky Italian cat named Tommaso gained from the £8.4 million estate of his deceased owner.

A childless widow, the multimillionaire had asked lawyers to identify the welfare group who would look after Tommaso, a four-year-old former stray, as the beneficiary of her full estate.

Unfortunately under Italian law, an animal cannot directly inherit money from a will, which in this case was handwritten and named Tommaso as the heir.
