BBC Breakfast viewers were devastated when Bill Turnbull announced he was leaving the show after 15 years - but he had a very valid reason for leaving. The popular presenter, who sat on the red sofa as host for the last time in 2016, was a massive hit with the millions of viewers who woke up with him every day.
The love for Bill can be seen in the outpouring of grief that has come after his tragic death was announced on Thursday morning. Sadly, Bill passed away at the age of 66 after a "challenging' five year fight with prostate cancer. Bill died peacefully on Wednesday at his home in Suffolk, which is where he moved after leaving his BBC Breakfast role.
