Blair's entertainment career spanned seven decades, including appearances as an actor, tap dancer, presenter and choreographer.
Blair moved to the UK from Canada at the age of two, and was best known as a team captain on the charades-style TV show Give Us A Clue. More recently, he appeared on reality TV shows such as Celebrity Big Brother and The Real Marigold Hotel. He grew up in Stamford Hill, north London, and was evacuated to Oxford during the war with his sister Joyce and his mother Deborah.A short time later, they returned to London - Blair's father, Myer, called them back after they witnessed a German plane crash.
Blair said his father had told him:"If that can happen there, what's the point of being in the country away from each other?".
