Leslie Phillips, best known for starring in the Carry On movies, has died aged 98.

The veteran actor, who died on Monday, spent eight decades in the limelight and became known for his suggestive catchphrases such as “Ding Dong”, “Well hello” and “Oh, I say!”

Phillips died “peacefully in his sleep” on Monday, his agent Jonathan Lloyd announced to the Press Association.

He then took on more dramatic roles, including a Bafta-nominated role opposite Peter O’Toole in 2006’s Venus, and also appeared as the Sorting Hat’s voice in the Harry Potter films.

Phillips was made OBE in the 1998 and was then promoted to CBE in the 2008.
