Lauren Laverne has stepped down from hosting Glastonbury coverage this weekend after the death of her 'compassionate and tenacious' mam Celia Gofton.
Sunderland born singer turned TV and radio host Lauren confirmed the news on social media, just as Celia was looking forward to watching Sir Paul McCartney in action at the world famous festival, with daughter Lauren now pulling out of any further BBC hosting duties from Worthy Farm this weekend.
Posting on Instagram, Lauren wrote: "Yesterday I lost my Mam, Celia. She was the kindest, most compassionate and most tenacious person I have ever met."
