Nik B. 10 Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 The "talented" host of daytime property shows including To Buy or Not to Buy died at his home in east London, police said. Ambulance crews were unable to revive the 32-year-old when they arrived at the flat in Newnham at 7.45am. <!-- BEFORE ACI --> A Scotland Yard spokesman said: "Police were called to reports of a body of a man in his 30s found at an address in Richford Road, E15. "Ambulance services attended and life was pronounced extinct. Next of kin were informed and we await formal identification. "There will be a post-mortem at 12 noon at East Ham mortuary." Newham CID are investigating the "unexplained" circumstances, a police source added. The presenter, who was born in Devon to a family of property developers, started his television career hosting Nightlife for ITV. In 2001, Mr Digby, who was homosexual, presented That Gay Show on BBC Choice. He went on to front several popular BBC shows, including Double Agents, Living in the Sun, House Swap and Buy it, Sell It, Bank It. A BBC spokesman said: "Kristian was a much-loved and talented presenter for BBC Daytime. He brought a real sense of energy and warmth to all the shows he presented for us and will be sorely missed. Our thoughts are with his family at this very difficult time." Mr Digby was also a director whose short film, Last Train to Demise, won the Melbourne Film Festival Best Student Film in 1998. Words of Deception won him a junior Bafta in 1997. His agent and friend Jo Wander said: "I am devastated by the loss. He was a lovely guy and a very talented presenter and director. I will miss him hugely and my thoughts at this time are with his family and his many friends. He will be sorely missed." Tributes to the television presenter poured in on social networking websites. Pat Tensell, a librarian, wrote on Twitter: “Shocked by news of Kristian Digby's death. We shook hands last Monday at event in Worcester. He was lovely and a great keynote speaker.†Ben Pitchers wrote: “Can't believe Kristian Digby has died. Why does everyone keep dying young? He was a fantastic gay role model and talented broadcaster. RIP.†http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/7348287/BBC-presenter-Kristian-Digby-found-dead-in-unexplained-circumstances.htmlHorrible. I had a very soft spot for him, and I'm very sad that he's gone. Quote Nik B.Born to Toads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John 10 Posted March 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Hope not. The forums are rife with speculation. Murder, drugs, manslaughter. The usual situation when someone dies. Lets at least hope this was just natural causes.On a side note, a few years ago on here we were doing a look-a-likes thing. Which celebrities do forum members look like...?Neil (Geezer) compared Kristian to me..... To this day I still don't see it!

driftingeccentric 10 Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 I was shocked when I switched the news on this morning and heard that he had died. RIP Kristian. I hope that the vultures treat him with more respect than they treated Stephen Gately, although knowing the Daily Mail et al, they'll blame this on his sexuality.

Behelzebub 10 Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Neil (Geezer) compared Kristian to me..... To this day I still don't see it!Actually I think Neil may have a point there...And I don't really have any celebrity lookalikes to be honest, nobody's ever told me I look like anyone famous anyway. Although maybe if I put on a wig I could pass for Uma Thurman as Mia in Pulp Fiction. Quote So save the last dance For me my love 'cause II see you as an angel freshly fallen from the sky...
