Dale Winton was one of Britain's best loved TV presenters but he rarely spoke about his private life – here we take a look at his relationships and the people he loved
Dale Winton's TV persona was bold and exuberant, but his personal life was complex and more private. He was just 13 years old when his father died and 21 when his mother killed herself, he had been beset by tragedy from an early age.
As we reflect back on his impressive TV career, we've taken a closer look at his life that was rarely spoken about... "She said to me: 'I never want you to feel there's something you can't tell me, and I will never judge or discriminate."Dale later shared how he hadn't felt the need to 'come out' as gay publicly because he was never directly asked about his sexual orientation. "The truth it's absolutely the truth is that no one ever asked me," he said to The Times in 2008.
The manager of Blackburn, Graeme Souness, was the best man, while their close mate Cilla Black became the maid of honour. Among other guests were Kym Marsh and Jack Ryder, who were a pair at that time.
