Ex-BBC presenter Beccy Barr, who formerly fronted BBC North West Tonight, has died after receiving an incurable cancer diagnosis last year.

A statement shared on Barr’s X/Twitter read: “I’m sharing the very sad news that Beccy passed away peacefully this morning.

“She spent her last few days at St John’s Hospice who provided the most dignified & compassionate care to Beccy & her whole family.

“Donations to the hospice can be made in Beccy’s memory.”
