Bill passed away at the age of 66 in August last year. A statement released at the time revealed that he died "peacefully at his home in Suffolk surrounded by his family" following a "challenging and committed fight" with prostate cancer, which he was diagnosed with in 2017.

Susanna, who left BBC Breakfast in 2014 to join Good Morning Britain, shared a tribute to Bill after the news of his death was announced in September. She wrote on Twitter: "Bill was the kindest, funniest, most generous man in the business. I feel lucky to have worked with him and he taught me everything. But above all, he was devoted to his family and I am heartbroken for them. RIP Bill. We will miss you so much."

She also spoke about him during an episode of Good Morning Britain at the time, hailing him as the "father of BBC Breakfast" who "inspired" her.
"You wanted to do your best for him," she said, adding: "He was such a funny person to be around. He was so much fun to be with. I don’t want to sound sombre talking about him because he had such a sense of humour."
