Julian Clary has been left heartbroken after his nephew committed suicide, a report claims.

According to The People, 23-year-old Christian Castro took his own life in Majorca recently. It is believed that a memorial service was held last week.

Castro was the son of Clary's older sister Frances and reportedly had a close friendship with the comedian.

A source revealed: "Julian is absolutely devastated. Christian was like the son he never had. When Julian heard the news, he broke down."

Despite the tragedy, Clary is still expected to go ahead with his forthcoming UK stand-up tour, which kicks off next month.

An insider said: "Julian will not be letting his fans down."
