Jeremy Vine was moved to tears live on air during a discussion about Ann Widdecombe’s murder investigation.
The 78-year-old was found dead at her home in Devon on Thursday (9 July). Police believe that she was killed nearly 24 hours before. A 28-year-old man has been arrested in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, on suspicion of her murder.
On Monday (13 July), the Channel 5 presenter became emotional after guest Iain Dale recalled how positively Ms Widdecombe spoke of Mr Vine and his team.
“Well, that is too much to hear today. Thank you so much, Iain,” he said as he choked back tears.
Mr Vine went on to explain that Ms Widdecombe was scheduled to make an appearance on Channel 5’s Matt Allwright show on Wednesday (8 July) but stopped returning messages, which he read out live on air.
