The corporation has paid tribute to him.

A BBC spokesperson said: “Frank excelled as a live presenter with the BBC for many years and we are very sorry to hear of his passing.

“We send our condolences to his family and friends.”

Bough was one of the best-known television personalities of the 1970s and 80s.
