Steve Wright's final sign off on BBC Radio 2's Sunday Love Songs before his death aged 69. The legendary broadcaster is heard saying he will 'be back for more love songs next Sunday', before bidding listeners farewell.
Laurence Wright, 65, said brother's tendency for eating out was a main factorSteve Wright's heartbroken brother today blamed the BBC star's death on his poor diet and claimed that he concealed his health problems from his family, MailOnline can exclusively reveal.
'He was the kind of guy who would just carry on, take care of it, not talk about it, not make a big thing, that kind of stoic sort of attitude. MailOnline revealed on Wednesday that Wright was found dead in his £2million London home on Monday after paramedics were called to an 'incident'. He said Steve's favourite place to eat out was the RAC club in London, which consists of many restaurants, and he chose to ignore home cooked food because he didn't have the time to prepare meals, as he was so consumed by his job.'He could have done with a bit more balance where you're cooking food yourself from home, but he didn't do that because he was too busy. So hence he would always eat out.
In the wake of his death, many of the legendary broadcaster's close pals say the loss of his beloved Afternoon Show contributed to his death, including showbiz agent Gary Farrow who claimed his pal 'died from a broken heart'.
