Michael Palin reveals that Terry Jones no longer recognises him because of his dementia

Jones had been the member of the sketch show that Palin was closest to and the pair would often pen their comedic material together.

The 77-year-old from Colwyn Bay was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia in 2015 and has previously said that people with the condition 'are not aware that things are going wrong for them'.

Palin, 76, has now said that despite his friend suffering from the illness, he has managed to keep part of his humour.

You know, whenever I see a page from an entertainer I haven't heard about in a while pop up on the main page, I assume it's bad news.

And yeah, this is very bad news. Dementia is a GODDAMN EVIL BITCH FROM HELL, and I'm sad.
