Angela Rippon has paid tribute to friend Dame Esther Rantzen who is battling lung cancer by surrounding herself with family at home.
Angela said her fellow TV star, who in May revealed she had stage four cancer, remains upbeat despite her advanced illness.
She added: “She’s dealing with it as Esther would. She’s happy. The last time we had any lengthy conversation, she was very happy being in her home in the country with her family around her.
