John Robbie says likening Jeremy Mansfield to John Berks is the biggest tribute he could pay the TV and radio presenter.The former HOT 102.7FM presenter revealed his cancer diagnosis was terminal in August.
"It was a very sad scene, and he beckoned to Jenny, and Jenny asked if he wanted a drink," he recalled."He said, 'yes, I'd love a gin and tonic'. Jenny went outside and made him a killer gin and tonic, and I think he appreciated that." "John Robbie, Jeremy Mansfield and David O’Sullivan a couple of weeks ago doing what veteran broadcasters do best."The former 702 talk show host said he thought Mansfield would pull through after his diagnosis at the beginning of the year, adding that Mansfield had been"very lucky" with injuries over the years and pulled through sicknesses.
