Overview

- He described his father, Pete, known on air as Little Pete, as a painter and decorator who loved talkSPORT and carried a radio to jobs.
- After the tribute, he continued the programme with co-host Alex Crook, and colleagues including Laura Woods, Charlie Baker, Gabby Agbonlahor and Max Rushden posted messages of support.
- Outlets reported no further details on cause or arrangements, and noted his long run at talkSPORT since 2011 and his regular England commentary for ITV.
