‘Heartbroken’ Lizzie Cundy reveals her brother has died in emotional tribute
“It’s devastating, but his relatives have found comfort in the fact there was nothing they could have done to save him.”
The TV personality’s family have been left shaken by their devastating loss, especially Peter’s bereft mum Gloria, who is a friend of Queen Camilla.
The 65-year-old worked in television, theatre and film throughout his career, producing many shows like The People Speak with Hollywood legend Colin Firth.
Lizzie revealed the news of his sudden death last week.
Sharing a picture of her sibling Peter, Lizzie wrote in an emotional tribute: “It is with a heavy heart and great sadness to tell you that my brother Peter has died.”
The TV and radio presenter, 57, added: “We as a family are heartbroken.
“Peter was a much loved son, brother and uncle.
“He worked in theatre, film, had a great love of dogs and of Chelsea FC.
“A real character and a kind soul who will be very much missed.
“Can’t believe he has gone. Rest in peace dear Pete.”
Lizzie’s loss comes just five months after her best friend, TalkRadio star James Whale passed away following a five-year battle with terminal cancer at the age of 74.
The legendary broadcaster, who appeared on Big Brother in 2016, is said to have died “with a smile on his face” following the lengthy battle.
He was first diagnosed with cancer back in 2000 and had to have one of his kidneys removed.
Then, in 2020, the TalkTV host revealed that the cancer had returned in his kidney, spine, brain and lungs.
