Five television presenters we miss: From Dale Winton and Sir Bruce Forsyth to Cilla Black and sir Terry Wogan

This week, the country was saddened to hear of the death of Dale Winton, aged just 62.

Winton, best known for hosting Supermarket Sweep and National Lottery quiz In It To Win It, entertained millions throughout his career on Saturday night and every other day of the week too.

As friends, fans and former colleagues pay tribute to the late presenter, we think of other presenters we loved who are sadly no longer with us.

From Sir Bruce Forsyth to the legendary Sir Terry Wogan, here are five stars we miss dearly.

Cilla Black

The Liverpudlian Blind Date presenter died in 2015 at her holiday home in Estepona, Spain after a fall and sustaining a head injury.

Black made her name as a singer, with hits including Anyone Who Had A Heart and Alfie, before carving out a successful television career, most notably making sure the path of true love did run smoothly…ish.

Sir Bruce Forsyth

The showbiz veteran died in August 2017, aged 89, sending sadness around the country.

A key part of so many generations television upbringing, fans loved Brucie from The Generation Game to The Price Is Right to Strictly Come Dancing.

Sir Terry Wogan

Sir Terry passed away in 2016, aged 77, after battling with ill-health that had previously forced him to give up fronting BBC Children In Need.

Known to millions for his work on radio and his hilarious commentary of the Eurovision Song Contest, during which current voiceover Graham Norton pays tribute to his genius when we reach the ninth song.

Keith Chegwin

The performer died aged 60 in December 2017 after a battle with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

Chegwin worked for seven years on GMTV as well as appearing on Big Breakfast and It’s A Knockout.

Jim Bowen

The Bullseye host – real name James Whittaker - died earlier this year aged 80.

His 14-year tenure on Darts-themed competition Bullseye boasted amusing and extravagant prizes such as speedboats and caravans, with his catchphrase “look what you could have won” becoming synonymous with his name.

Ken Dodd

The leader of the Diddy Men, Dodd, died earlier this year aged 90 just two days after he married.

His stage career spanned more than 60 years, performing for as long as he could, and once hosted the longest-ever joke session, telling 1,500 gags in three and a half hours.
