Jeremy Vine became emotional on his Channel 5 programme while paying tribute to Ann Widdecombe, who was found dead shortly after being scheduled to appear on his show. Widdecombe, a frequent guest across Vine’s TV and radio programmes, was remembered fondly by guest Iain Dale, prompting Vine to visibly struggle with grief on air. Her death has escalated into a counter‑terrorism investigation, with police citing new evidence and arresting a 28‑year‑old man on suspicion of murder as multiple lines of inquiry continue.
