ITV journalist Gary Burgess dies at the age of 46
The journalist and broadcaster had been publicly documenting his long journey with cancer after he received a terminal diagnosis late last year.In a final message released by ITV after his death, Gary wrote: "I've had the best life. I've had the luckiest life. I met my soul mate and the love of my life who went on to become my husband.
"The thought of doing that to Alan is unfathomable to process, but I also know the very people who've shown me love and support will now wrap up those feelings around him in the coming days. “It is with great sadness that I need to announce the death of my wonderful husband Gary on Saturday 1 January. After many years of fighting cancer, Gary died peacefully in his sleep in Jersey Hospice.
“And I also have to say thank you to the many well-wishers, be they friends, family, colleagues, ex-colleagues, viewers, radio listeners, blog readers or complete strangers, who have sent us their love and kind words since Gary received his terminal diagnosis in November 2020. At times we have both found the volume of messages to be almost overwhelming, but we were always thankful for the positivity, warmth and support shown to us both.
Gary was born in Manchester in 1975 but moved with his family to South Africa when he was six years old. Before leaving, he set a world record for the longest radio show by staying on air for 76 hours - raising money to build a new £2.9m cancer unit in Blackpool.
