My friend James Whale has died, and the world’s a lot quieter without him. He faced the end with courage and wit. Broadcasting has lost a giant. I’ve lost a mate. Au revoir Whaley, I'll miss you.
We are sad to announce that James Whale MBE died earlier today aged 74, following a lengthy battle with cancer.
As a broadcasting legend for over 50-years, James will be missed by so many at TALK and the wider News UK family.
