Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield paid tribute to a This Morning guest on Thursday who sadly passed away this week.
Heather Bone's passing comes just weeks after she appeared on the daytime TV show to share her happiness at winning a prize.
Heather's death was confirmed via the Instagram account that was set up to document Heather's cancer battle.
A post sharing the sad news read: "After a long battle with cancer, Mum went in the most peaceful and perfect way last night.
"Mum inspired so many people and will do for years to come, she always put others first and ALWAYS stayed positive which kept the whole family going.
"On behalf of Mum she was so grateful of the support everyone gave us the past year as it kept her positive. After suffering for so long she deserves a rest. Sleep tight Mum."
As This Morning returned from an advert break, Holly said: "Well it's with a heavy heart that we share the sad news that Heather Bone passed away peacefully on Tuesday evening."
Phillip continued: "You may remember Heather from the time she took part in our competitions, she was an amazing lady."
"She really was," Holly added. "Heather spent her final months living her life to the fullest and our thoughts go out to her friends and family at this time."
Holly and Phil's colleague Alison Hammond was among the first to pay tribute to Heather.
The bubbly presenter wrote on Instagram: "God bless Heather on her next journey now, I’m so honoured to have met her. RIP Heather."
Heather captured the hearts of the nation with her heartbreaking story of battling cancer after appearing on This Morning.
She had been the caller selected for Dosh on your Doorstep, with Alison arriving at her door for a pop quiz, and that's when viewers learnt Heather had three months to live after being diagnosed with breast cancer.
She explained she was throwing a farewell party, and This Morning donated an extra £1,000 on top of the £1,000 she won in the quiz.
This Morning airs weekdays at 10am on ITV.
