    Why do people post rumours from Twitter or other nonsense.

    Sad news.

    She was a very unique entertainer who blazed her own trail through music and TV for decades.

    I don't think you'll see anyone like that again, as the whole media has changed completely but, she's a broadcasting legend!

    RIP & condolences to family and friends.

    Like her or not she always had a smile on her face and made the most of her talent. She seemed to enjoy what she was doing.

    Aaahh thats very sad

    I loved surprise surprise and blind date growing up.

    72 is still quite young.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    It is these days.

    Average life expectancy in the UK for a woman is 80.5 and 83 here in Ireland.

    It starts to seem quite young when you approach middle age. Anything between 50 and 75 becomes quite young then. Over 85 and you're into the lived a good long life territory
    territory.

    her biggest asset was being nice , she didn't have star looks and was not a great singer but her ordinary warmth made her a huge tv star

    very much of a different era when Saturday evening light entertainment could pull in twenty million viewers in the uk , she would not succeed today

    72 might not be very old but she did a hell of a lot of stuff in those seven decades compared to most people.

    I've never heard anything good about her, and I know a lot of people who've came into contact with her, but the drama about her life recently was quite good. RIP..
