The former Supermarket Sweep host died at his home earlier on Wednesday 18th April, his long-term agent Jan Kennedy said.

Winton spent nearly a decade hosting the ITV daytime hit but also hosted the BBC's lottery show In It To Win It and appeared in game show Hole In The Wall.

Graham Norton paid tribute, thanking him for giving him "the best bit of showbiz advice I ever got - don't quit the hit!".

Davina McCall described as a "lovely, warm, kind, sensitive, generous soul with a touch of naughty!"

Comedian David Walliams said he was 'heartbroken' to hear of the death of his friend.

Winton's agent did not give details on the cause of death but said: "While we know many will share this terrible loss, we ask that you respect the family's privacy at this time of grief."
