Carol Vorderman confirmed that one of her former colleagues had died on Wednesday, in view of her 390,000 Twitter followers. The presenter took fans back to the late 1990s/early noughties with the post, as she remembered Michael O'Flaherty. The 58-year-old described him as a “gent” as she announced he had died at the age of 70 the previous week. She worked with him on her self-titled Better Homes and Better Gardens programmes in 1999 and the latter one a year later.
The lovely Michael O'Flaherty died last week, age just 70. He was always charming company
