Susanna Reid says she ‘loved every minute’ of working with Bill Turnbull after his death from prostate cancer

TV presenter Susanna Reid says she “loved every minute” of working with former colleague Bill Turnbull, who has died of prostate cancer.

In a tribute on BBC Breakfast yesterday, Susanna, 51, told how Bill, 66, had a “mischievous sense of humour”.

The show will be interspersed with tributes from other broadcasters who knew Turnbull best, as well as messages from his fellow Classic FM presenters and his many listeners.

Classic FM also hopes to continue his legacy by using the show to raise further awareness of prostate cancer and encourage more men to get themselves checked.

The GMB host presented BBC Breakfast with Bill — who she said was “incredibly generous” — from 2012 to 2014.
