Sad day for horse racing fans! July 05, 2019 - 11:54 BST Sharnaz Shahid Horse racing broadcaster John McCririck has died aged 79, his family have confirmed. The former Celebrity Big Brother star, who has been dogged by health issues in recent years, is survived by his wife of 48 years, Jenny. In a post on Twitter, the Racing Post announced: "Sad to report that legendary racing broadcaster John McCririck has died at the age of 79.
He also blamed his illness on the stress of being axed from Channel 4 Racing. "Life is empty," he told Daily Mail. "I don't expect to be alive this time next year. It's a question of slipping away. I've prepared the Booby [his wife, Jenny] for it. When I'm gone she knows exactly what to do and she'll be fine."
