Magician Paul Daniels dies of cancer, aged 77

TV host diagnosed in February with brain tumour. Wife of 28 years, Debbie McGee, with him to the end

Entertainer Paul Daniels has died, aged 77, with wife Debbie McGee by his side. He had been diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour in February, and had spend his final days with his family, at his Berkshire home.

McGee, his wife of 28 years, thanked wellwishers for their support, since the magician fell at home and was rushed to hospital, suspected of having suffered a stroke. It was then that the tumour was discovered.
