Just seen this - tragic news. Only 35years old with a 8 month old daughter. Was only watching DC on Saturday Kitchen this morning. Very sad for the family. RIP.

Wowza.
That's horrible news for her friends and family.

Very sad

Amazing DC still done the show after hearing this news, think he lost another sister a few years back? Sad news for the family.

Such a shame and not being treated as suspicious either.

He was informed after the show, it was reported.

Mr Men · 10 Feb 2013 at 13:26

His agent James Williamson confirmed to MailOnline today: 'He found out just before he went on air.'

No way on earth he would have done the show after, surely! Would anyone?!! It's his sister dying, not his pet cat.

Strange... The BBC and SKY suggest differently.. If so then that's incredible as he seemed upbeat and happy during the entire segment.

Nismo · 10 Feb 2013 at 15:10

I can't honestly believe he knew before going on live TV, he would have to be incredibly professional or have basically disowned her in the past to not show any sadness.

As said, he was happy and smiling.

Skeeter · 10 Feb 2013 at 15:26

Report I read said he was told after the show

Don't really matter in the grand scheme of things.

Agree, all this talk is a bit silly really.

I have no idea how anyone could hold it together hearing that news prior to a tv show. I bet the producer was ****ing himself as well. Very sad news for the family.

smr · 10 Feb 2013 at 18:10

I heard that he was told after the interview about it... According to Sky News last night anyway.

Agreed, still baffles me that the Schumacher brothers raced at Imola when their mum died that morning, pretty sure they were 1-2 as well in the race.

According to the fail on sunday his agent confirmed that he was told before he went on air.

I find that hard to believe. I know the guy takes his job with the BBC as a presenter with the utmost professionalism but that's something else when you can go on air, all smiles and happy after hearing such news?!
