Ive never really felt shocked about celebrities or tv personalities being ill, but this has really thrown me tonight.
I love watching him on A place in the Sun. He always seemed so genuine and friendly.
I feel really sad for him, his wife and most of all his 3 young DC.

Gosh, what a shock! So young.
He is one of my favourite presenters of Escape to the Country - always seems so genuine and friendly.
How terrible for them all.
