Default Bill Turnbull Dies


Broadcaster Bill Turnbull has died at the age of 66, his representatives have confirmed.

Turnbull hosted BBC Breakfast for 15 years, before the show moved to Salford, and also fronted Songs of Praise and game show Think Tank.

After leaving the BBC in 2016, he joined Classic FM, and continued presenting shows on the network until recently.

In 2018, he announced he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer.

Turnbull was a favourite with viewers during his 15 years on BBC Breakfast thanks to his warm and gentle presenting style, which was well suited to early morning broadcasting.

During his time on BBC Breakfast, he presented alongside Sian Williams, Susanna Reid, Kate Silverton, Natasha Kaplinsky and Louise Minchin.

Don't know much about him, but I saw him on TV not so long ago. Looked well.
And 66, not that old these days. Sad.
