Pete Price cleared up rumours suggesting he was dead just hours after he appeared "alive and well" on TV.
The radio host, from West Kirby, said he received a dozen messages in the space of an hour on Saturday night after the rumours spread. Pete, 77, took to Instagram to set the record straight as he shared one of the messages he received from a friend who was in disbelief at the misinformation, which appeared to have come from a caller to Alan Beswick's late-night phone-in show on Radio Manchester.
The message read: "Cannot believe what I heard on Alan Beswick show tonight. A lady just announced she was sad you passed away. Allen said this cannot be confirmed, think he didn't know what to say but he did talk about you for a few moments.
