Christopher Price, who hosted the UK Song for Europe, has been found dead at his London home yesterday.

Price was also the regular frontman of showbiz bulletin Liquid News, shown nightly on digital channel BBC Choice and also on BBC One. He hosted A Song for Europe and it was planned that Price would also host the preview program and the Eurovision Special at May 25.

His BBC colleagues said that “in his own words, he said he was fat, bald and homosexual but he was perfect for Liquid News. It's a great loss”.
