That’s sad…she was quite a character and a very successful business woman. I reckon a heavy smoker though…

Yes died way too soon but had been ill for a while and id imagine it was the carcinogens in her tabs that done for her

Sad, northerners tend not to live that long, she might have had money but she was always a northerner.

R.I.P
I think it might have been cancer.

I remember her on dragons den, and I'm sure she did an apprenticeship TV show for youngsters in hospitality.
