Terry Nutkins has died.
The broadcaster – who hosted the children’s wildlife programme The Really Wild Show in the 1980s and 90s – was 66.
He’d been diagnosed with leukaemia earlier this year.
BBC presenter Phillip Schofield tweeted: “So sad to hear of the death of Terry Nutkins.I worked with him often in my ‘broom cupboard’ days. A delightful man and passionate naturalist.”
