Steve Wright was 'more ill than he let on' and underwent heart bypass before his death
BBC Radio 2 star Steve Wright had undergone a heart bypass months before his death, a friend has revealed after the broadcaster was found dead at his London flat
Speaking about his friend's death on the Colin Edmonds' podcast Behind The Scenes, Mr Wells said: "Steve had a heart operation about 15 months ago. The normal stuff - diet, nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress - he was a very stoic kind of guy as well so if he had something wrong with him and he had to go to have some treatment or go to the doctors, he wouldn't talk about it." We spoke to Steve alongside other presenters about our plans for the new Radio 2 DAB+ extension, which we announced last week, including simulcasting his Sunday Love Songs on the station and agreed to discuss further content ideas in due course.
