Her family announced on Friday 22 May that she passed away on Thursday evening, having lived with Alzheimer’s disease in her final years and experiencing a recent decline in health. Chalmers began her broadcasting career with the BBC at just 13, going on to present shows like Family Favourites before becoming a household name as the host of Wish You Were Here...? from 1974 until 2003.
