British TV presenter Dale Winton has died.
The 62 year old game show host and star of Come Fly With Me passed away at his home yesterday, but no other details have been given.
Comedian David Walliams - who starred with Winton in the comedy series Come Fly With Me - says he's heartbroken.
Dale is best known for the ITV game show Supermarket Sweep which ran from 1993 until 2000.
Tributes have been flooding in for the TV legend. Presenter Paddy McGuinness says he was the perfect host while comedian Julian Clary says he was a "kind, sweet, truthful man.'
Dale Winton gave me the best bit of showbiz advice I ever got - Don’t quit the hit! Thank you Dale. X

What a shame about Dale Winton! I sang a Bert Jansch song while sitting next to him on a radio show once. He struck me as being a really lovely man. Bye, Dale and thank you for your encouraging words. X

In 2016, Dale appeared on Loose Women and spoke frankly about his battle with depression.
"I had depression and I didn't realise. I always thought 'Get over yourself.' But my mum died of it and anybody out there who has had it knows it exists."
