Dale Winton became loved by TV audiences across Britain after shooting to fame as the host of popular daytime gameshow Supermarket Sweep.
The 62-year-old star, who died today, will be long remembered by fans for his famous tanned skin and flamboyancy in front of the camera.
His death sparked a nationwide outpouring of grief, with thousands of Twitter users recalling their favourite moments from his much-loved shows.
#SupermkaretSweep was trending on Twitter in the hours after his death today, as fans shared memories of his most popular programme, which started in 1993.
In the show, Winton encouraged contestants to dash across the shop floor and pick up as many food and household items as they could in the allotted time.
The ITV series came to a close in 2000, but its popularity led to Dale agreeing to return for a brief stint in 2007.
