Steve Wright left behind just £40,000 in his will, with the majority of his estate being gifted to charity.

The BBC Radio 2 legend died aged 69 from a ruptured ulcer in his stomach at his £2million home in London on February 12 2024.

He rose to fame in 1980 on BBC Radio 1, including fronting the channel's prime-time breakfast show, before moving to Radio 2, where he was a constant feature.

But the star DJ's estate had a net value of just £40,623 when he died, with the gross value rising to just £53,623.

In a generous final gesture, Steve gave £15,000 to Cancer Research in his will and another £10,000 to the British Heart Foundation.
