David Frost has died aged 74, his family have announced.
The broadcaster will be remembered for his satirical show That Was The Week That Was, part of the 1960s “satire boom”, as well as for his revealing interviews with former US president Richard Nixon. The prime minister David Cameron tweeted: “My heart goes out to David Frost’s family. He could be – and certainly was with me – both a friend and a fearsome interviewer.”
He is survived by his second wife, Carina Fitzalan-Howard, and three children. A family statement said: “His family are devastated and ask for privacy at this difficult time. A family funeral will be held in the near future and details of a memorial service will be announced in due course.”
