Susanna Reid says Bill Turnbull gave her crucial advice when she feared career was over

Susanna Reid has spoken about her former colleague Bill Turnbull, with her describing the late presenter as a "kind" person who was both a mentor and a friend to her.

Bill - who is best known for presenting BBC Breakfast - passed away on August 31 at the age of 66, almost five years after he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer.

His former co-host Susanna, 51 - who worked on the BBC show from around 2001 until 2014 - has now spoken about the first live shift they had together on the programme.
