Fans were left devastated on Wednesday after it was announced that one of the show's stars, Ewen MacIntosh, had died, with tributes flooding in for the actor.

His management said said in a statement: "With great sadness we announce the peaceful passing of our beloved comedy genius Ewen MacIntosh.

"His family thank all who supported him, especially Willow Green Care Home.

"There will be a private cremation for family and close friends soon, and a celebratory memorial later in the year."

Here is what happened to other members of the cast after the show ended.

Ricky Gervais

Gervais not only co-created The Office but also starred in it as protagonist David Brent.

He has gone on to see success as a stand-up comedian as well as appearing in blockbusters including Ghost Town and Night at the Museum.

He also joined forces with Stephen Merchant once again for An Idiot Abroad, starring Karl Pilkington.

Merchant was a co-creator on the show but also had a brief role as Oggy the Oggmonster who visited the office.

He has since gone into stand-up as well as creating comedy-drama The Outlaws.

Merchant has also tried his hand at more acting roles, having appeared in films like Jojo Rabbit and TV shows including the Big Bang Theory.
