Dale Winton has died at the age of 62.
He passed away at his home yesterday, but no other details have been given.
He was best known for hosting ITV's Supermarket Sweep from 1993 to 2000. It was hugely popular in the 90s, and the landmark TV show for “sick from school” days. TV gold really – have a look:
A host of celebs have been tweeting their sorrow at hearing the sad news - and it would appear that Dale was much loved by his peers:

Kanye West has posted a flurry of philosophical messages on Twitter, saying they form a book he is writing "in real time".
The rapper recently said he wanted to pen a philosophy book called Break The Simulation.
He's written a series of tweets sharing his musings on life and the internet. They're as bonkers are you might expect.
if you wanna see the true character of person watch the way they treat someone who can't do anything for them.

Victoria Beckham turned 44 this week and to celebrate and treat herself, she had a fruit cake! Now, what’s wrong with that, I hear you ask? Well apart from the fact that fruit cake is rotten, it wasn’t a fruit cake as you or I know it.
It was a cake made entirely of fruit. A watermelon covered in strawberries and blueberries with a candle on top.
She follows a very strict diet of salmon and leaves every day, with 2 hours in the gym and even on her birthday she didn’t break her diet. Live a little, Posh.
