Former BBC Breakfast host Bill Turnbull has revealed that he has come to terms with his own mortality and has no fear of dying.
The 64-year-old was diagnosed with an incurable form of cancer three years ago and has no idea how long he has left to live.
"I've thought a great deal about death since I was diagnosed with cancer because he's there, y'know – the fella with the hood over his head and the scythe. He's waiting, and that's fine," Turnbull told The Mirror.
"I've developed quite a healthy relationship with death, I feel very, very calm about it because I've given it a lot of thought. There's no way I'm going to imagine I can live forever, nor would I really want to."
Turnbull currently presents Songs of Praise and has a show on Classic FM and earlier this year had a brief reunion with former co-host Susanna Reid when he filled in for Piers Morgan on Good Morning Britain.
