Privacy NoticeBBC Breakfast’s Nina Warhurst and Jon Kay were visibly moved as they honoured a “much loved” colleague. The TV presenters dedicated a segment to Dianne Oxberry, who tragically lost her fight with ovarian cancer in January 2019. As a passionate flower enthusiast and host of the Tatton Garden show for the broadcaster, it was decided to establish a memorial garden in her honour. They announced that the Sunshine Garden, originally designed in her memory at the Tatton Garden show, now resides in a hospice on the Wirral, providing comfort to patients and their families. Dianne’s husband Iain Hindle appeared on the show, praising organisers for the heartfelt tribute to his late wife. Speaking to the camera, he said: “The Tatton Flower show is really special isn’t it. She would have never considered that that would have been something that would have happened to her but she would have been so moved had she had been alive today.”

BBC Breakfast turns tense as Carol Kirkwood shuts down co-star Naga Munchetty
Back in the studio, Nina and Jon were clearly emotional after revealing the private grounds dedicated to their former weather presenter. Despite the sadness in their voices, they managed to share some warm words about their co-star, reports the Express. “We all worked with Dianne, despite being on the telly and doing the weather she was very humble and Eamonn who you saw in that video was absolutely right, although she would have loved the garden she would have been slightly embarrassed about the attention,” Nina shared.

Jon agreed as Nina continued: “Dianne is very much still remembered by all, I still get people stop me in the street about her. That’s just the kind of person that she was.” It’s been five years since the meteorologist passed away from ovarian cancer, a diagnosis that came as a shock with Dianne passing away just days after finding out.

Dianne received the heartbreaking news on New Year’s Eve in 2018 and tragically, just ten days later, she passed away at the tender age of 51. Her symptoms were minimal, including just a “bit of tummy pain”, with no other signs indicating she had been terminally ill. According to statistics from Ovarian Cancer Action, only three in ten women diagnosed with this devastating disease live beyond 10 years. This highlights the importance of early diagnosis with Dianne’s loved ones raising awareness and founding a charity in her honour.
