Bill Turnbull, a broadcaster, passed away at the age of 66, according to his agents.
Before the program moved to Salford, Turnbull hosted BBC Breakfast for 15 years. He also hosted Think Tank and Songs of Praise.
Bill will be regarded by many as a brilliant broadcaster who brought humor and warmth into people’s homes, according to his family.
He said that he had been given a prostate cancer diagnosis in 2018.
He joined Classic FM after leaving the BBC in 2016 and continues to host shows on the network up until recently.
Following a difficult and determined battle with prostate cancer, Bill died away quietly on Wednesday, August 31, at his home in Suffolk, surrounded by his family.
Turnbull’s mild presenting style, which was ideal for early morning television, made him a fan favorite among viewers on BBC Breakfast.
He co-hosted BBC Breakfast with Sian Williams, Susanna Reid, Kate Silverton, Natasha Kaplinsky, and Louise Minchin during his tenure there.
Just after the news was revealed, his former coworkers Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty delivered an emotional tribute on Thursday’s episode.
