Just read on AOL news the sad news that Caron Keating once of Blue Peter, has died aged 42. How sad. Never knew she was ill. Had apparently been battling breast cancer for 7 years. Diane

How sad. She is Gloria Hunniford's daughter, isn't she? I didn't even know she had been ill either.

That is why in the paper today it said that on GMTV Gloria Hunniford was unwell & Penny Smith? had to take over at short notice. What sad news to hear. How horrible for those left behind. My thoughts are with her family today Elaine X :o((

Babs in Cardiff Very sad news. Such a young age, didn't know she was ill. Our Thoughts and Prayers go to Gloria Hunniford and all of Caron Keatings family.

this is another one of those things thats reminds me that life is short.....we should fill every day with something worthwhile, and make sure we dont waste what we have! Must be a terrible time for her family and friends.

It takes something as sad as this to remind us we are only mortal and it could happen to any of us.I only spoke with an aunt last week who was upset as two of her neices on the other side of the family had lost their husbands suddenly,within two weeks of each other at the age of 59/60.She said just when they were at the age to enjoy themselves,but what age do you enjoy yourself at? Right now,I think is the answer.My thoughts are with Carons family and my aunts other neices.
