Victoria Wood
The comedian died in April this year.
The comedian battled cancer away from the spotlight.
She had worked with the presenter's wife on one of her shows.
'Very few people knew she had a terminal illness.'
The pair had been chums since their teenage years.
From 'New Faces' to 'Dinnerladies' and beyond...
'We owe a huge debt of gratitude to Victoria- she paved the way.'
'Let's do it, let's do it tonight!'
The entertainment world has lost a comedy giant.
