Elliot, from Southampton, met Stephen in 2014 and was initially known as Mr E. before they went public.

Last year, Stephen revealed that he doesn’t want to live past 100 because he would “hate to be so alone.”

He admitted he would find it “deeply disturbing” to see a world without his friends and family.

Speaking about longevity with Evgeny Lebedev on his Brave New World podcast, Stephen admitted that he “likes the idea of ​​death,” and that it’s the “idea of ​​decay” that makes him shake in his boots.

He explained: ‘Personally, I’m not particularly interested in longevity for myself. I’m interested, as I think most people are, in the idea of ​​an old age that is as pain-free as possible and where there isn’t too much cognitive loss…

“But I’m not someone who wants to live longer than the rest of my friends.”

He continued: “If everyone, my family and my friends, lived to be 120, then maybe I would be very happy to pass 100. But as things stand, I would hate to be that solitary Flying Dutchman figure so beloved in history. … .

‘The survivor, all whose dependents and acquaintances have since died. I would find that deeply disturbing.

Stephen cemented his status as a national treasure after being knighted in the 2025 New Year Honours.

The comedian, actor and presenter said he felt “surprised and delighted” after receiving the top gong, insisting it came “out of the blue”.

Sir Stephen, who spoke candidly about his battles with bipolar disorder after being expelled from school, was recognized for his services to mental health awareness, the environment and charity.

Stephen said he hopes his knighthood can show those suffering from mental health problems that “there is always hope”.

He said he would also try to be “gallant, chivalrous and courteous” as these are all “gentlemanly qualities.”

The QI presenter has spoken candidly about how his battles with the disease led to him being expelled from boarding school as a child and even spending time in prison.

He then attended Cambridge, where he formed a comedy group with Dame Emma Thompson, Tony Slattery and Hugh Laurie at the university’s famous Footlights club.

He rose to fame with Laurie in A Bit of Fry & Laurie, as well as starring alongside the House actor in Jeeves and Wooster and Blackadder.

But at all times he was fighting a manic depression that he has recounted in documentaries and memoirs.

This led to him becoming chairman of the charity Mind since 2011, while he has also been vice-chairman of the conservation charity Fauna and Flora International since 2009.

Stephen has also worked with the Terence Higgins Trust, raising awareness and funds for people with HIV and AIDS, since 1991.
