Carol Hunt, 61, who was married to the BBC and Sky Sports racing presenter, and two of their daughters Louise, 25, and Hannah, 28, were found fatally injured at a home in Ashlyn Close on Tuesday evening.

At the start of his Euros pre-match show yesterday (July 10), a clearly emotional Mr Chapman said: “John Hunt is our colleague and our friend, not just to the current 5 Live sport team but to all of those who have worked here with him over the past 20 years and also to all of you who have enjoyed his superb commentaries.

“On behalf of everybody connected to 5 Live sport, our love and thoughts and support are with John and his family.”
