Broadcaster and radio personality James Whale has died aged 74 following a cancer diagnosis, his agent confirmed on Monday.
His career spanned six decades, including stints on the BBC airwaves as well as stations such as LBC and TalkSport.
Whale's TalkTV colleague and friend Mike Graham read an obituary on air and paid tribute to Whale, who had stage four kidney cancer.
Known for being outspoken and often controversial, more recently Whale went on to front his own podcast and night-time weekly radio show on TalkRadio.
Whale was first diagnosed with kidney cancer in 2000 and then, in 2020, he revealed it had returned.
