I heard the same thing, though from what I recall, Bob's son had problems with either drink or drugs?

There was also no contact between Monkhouse and his brother John between their father's death, in 1957, and 1977, when John took his family to a taping of Celebrity Squares. The two negotiated what Bob called "brotherly contact of a kind". Very much against his wishes, Monkhouse later became estranged, too, from his younger son Simon, who blamed his father for his own unhappy life. In 2001 Simon died from a heroin overdose.
