This morning guest Heather Bone dies aged 41 after battling cancer.

The news of her death came in just after Alison Hammond led tributes on Wednesday evening. The popular This Morning guest had planned her own wake using a cash prize she won on the show.

According to Dailymail, Heather was a 41-year-old mother with terminal breast cancer who moved This Morning viewer to tears when she used a cash prize she won on the show to throw her own wake, has passed away.

She is from West Sussex, won a £1,000 prize after winning a competition on the ITV show in June – and revealed to host Alison Hammond that she had just three months left to live at the time.

Heather has appeared on This Morning three months later in August, where she revealed to hosts Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford she had used the money to plan her own wake.

One of Heather’s sons, Lewis, has announced his mother’s death on her Instagram page today, and This Morning presenter Alison Hammond led the tributes, saying Heather is now ‘on her next journey.’

‘After a long battle with cancer, Mum went in the most peaceful and perfect way last night,’ Lewis wrote.

‘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,’ he added.
