Singer James Morrison’s partner Gill Catchpole’s cause of death has been confirmed, after she died aged 45.

The news was revealed by a source on Sunday, who said Morrison was ‘devastated’ by her sudden death after she was found at home in Gloucestershire on Friday.

It’s now been confirmed that Catchpole died by hanging, a coroner was told today.

The coroner was informed that police were satisfied there were no suspicious circumstances involved.

Catchpole was found by Morrison at her home on Friday, to which he had a key, after he had been contacted by a friend who couldn’t get access.

Catchpole shared two children with the singer and guitarist, eldest daughter Elsie, 15, born in 2008, and Ada, five, who they welcomed 10 years later in 2018.

Morrison described Catchpole as his hero in a 2019 interview and said he could never replace her.

Metro.co.uk has approached James Morrison’s reps for comment.

Enter Lorenzo… (Picture: Channel 4)

Fred Sirieix got more than be bargained for when a man turned up on national TV to proudly share his handjob story… in front of his parents.

It’s Christmas, but even that much honesty is seriously not okay.

The wild moment came on Mo Gilligan’s final ever The Lateish Show episode, which came in the form of a Christmas special on December 20.

After four years, the beloved show is coming to an end – but it definitely went out with a bang as the 35-year-old comedian was joined on his sofa by X Factor hun Leona Lewis, Allan Mustafa of People Just Do Nothing, Joel Dommett, and I’m A Celeb’s Fred Sirieix.

But one guest they perhaps weren’t expecting came when the host asked random members of the public to take to the stage and share their worse ever date stories.

Enter Lorenzo, who took to the stage clad in a Santa hat, and a ‘pah humbug’ jumper with a droopy dog on it.

But Lorenzo’s parents in the audience seemed delighted(Picture: Channel 4)

‘I took a girl to a burger bar, and let’s just say she went for the off menu hot dog,’ he began, with a dramatic, secretive hand to his mouth.

‘Basically, she w**ked me off under the table,’ he then said to the audience.

While Joel lifted one eyebrow, sky high, both of Fred’s were in orbit at the brazen confession on national TV.

But it wasn’t over, yet. Oh no. Lorenzo then got some finger guns out to the audience and said: ‘Let’s just say it came with extra sauce.’

And it gets even worse, as reading his notes Mo reveals that Lorenzo’s poor parents are actually in the audience listening to the whole thing.

The presenter stared, dumbfounded, while Fred looked absolutely gobsmacked as he erupted into laughter, and Bleeding Love hitmaker Leona chuckled with her head in her hands.

The camera panned to the parents, who seemed to be laughing along with the First Dates star.

Fans were loving the episode generally, as X user @CravenK7 wrote: ‘Loving the #LateishShow tonight. It’s made me feel very somewhat Christmassy. Larenzo was wild.’

Another said they were truly saddened to see the show end after a brilliant four years.

TMI LORENZO 😲😲 and with his parents there! Also… How is that a worst date? 🤔🤣 #Thelateishshow pic.twitter.com/0wLDFSHJOT— The Lateish Show (@TheLateishShow) December 20, 2023

Such a shame it’s the last @MoTheComedian #LateishShow tonight – this show has top class and is so special,’ wrote @_AartiFicial.

Taking to Instagram last week to announce the news this would be the last episode, Mo said: ‘So, big news to share…‘After four incredible years, The Christmas episode of The Lateish Show with Mo Gilligan which, transmits at 10pm on Wednesday 20th December will be my last.‘I can’t even begin to describe how proud I am of this show. It genuinely changed my life and has created an industry-wide impact. It’s won numerous awards and achieved even more nominations, but it’s the army of people behind the scenes that made it happen who are so important. There are so many moments that I’ll always look back on with so much happiness.‘From that very first moment at Channel 4 where they took a chance on an ambitious young black creative who just couldn’t find a way into the industry. To endless creative meetings with all the team at Expectation who all worked so hard to try and make something with scale, joy and game changing ideas at its heart.

‘To every single production team member who worked relentlessly across all 4 series. The epic guests who gave it their all, week in and week out. To the outstanding Compozers and phenomenal MOcalists. All the excellent stand up comedians who performed on our Lateish Introduces platforms and the outstanding individuals who joined as crew for our game-changing Lateish Accelerator Programme.

‘All the brilliant crew and staff at BBC Studios. My incredible team at my production company MOMO G who always push me in the best kind of way. To everyone at Channel 4 for continuing to support me over and over again and most importantly, the viewers – those who have watched us, shared the clips, taken part and supported us for so long. It’s been a huge privilege to bring people into my world every Friday night and just have fun.‘Next year is a busy one for me but I’m beyond thankful for what has been achieved and I’ll never take lightly the opportunity that I was given. I promise to keep pushing for more of those opportunities for the next generation of young creatives…‘… And to that next young Mo, who is just trying to catch a break…To them I say, keep going. Don’t give up. Everything is possible…‘The Lateish Show proves it ❤️.’
