Twitter account called Accidental Partridge - where users post clips showing public figures doing things which seem in keeping with comedy character Alan Partridge's behaviour. The account tweeted this morning to say, 'Rest in peace, Coolio,' alongside the footage of Mr Barrymore after the news broke that the musician had been found unresponsive on the bathroom floor of a friend's house in Los Angeles. The singer, whose real name is Artis Leon Ivey Jr, was pronounced dead at the scene and it is believed he suffered a cardiac arrest.

He then sings and dances with them, continually raising his hands to the ceiling in time with the song. Mr Barrymore then proceeds to dance, seemingly slightly out of time with the song.
Twitter users were quick to comment under the humorous video with one writing: 'I've never made it more than 40 seconds into this, having to abandon lest I literally cringe myself inside out. 'While another wrote: 'Some day I'm going to make it all the way through this video. But not today.
