on suspicion of murder.
Reflecting on their last conversation, which aired at 8am on Wednesday morning, Mark said: “Ann’s last on air appearance on my Talk breakfast show was like every other.
“She had her usual energy, passion and good humour. She was a conviction politician who did not suffer fools gladly and remained remarkably consistent over a long career.
“She was a passionate supporter of Brexit and in recent years moved her support from the Conservatives to Reform UK. On the show on Wednesday, she enthusiastically welcomed Nigel Farage’s decision to resign his Clacton seat and spark a by-election.
“Ann was a regular on Talk breakfast. She always went down a storm with our audience and it’s clear that although she was no longer a frontline politician, she lived for political debate, appearing regularly on radio and television, writing a weekly column and campaigning for Reform UK.”
Ann appeared on the breakfast show to discuss Nigel Farage’s resignation as an MP.
The Reform UK leader – who welcomed Ann’s defection to his party in 2023 – has triggered a by-election in Clacton, in which he plans to fight again.
Mark added: “Based on her last appearance you could see she was fit and well, had so much more living to do, and so much more to contribute to public life.
“It’s devastating to think that as I signed off that interview and wished her well, it would be the last time we would speak.”
