BILLY Yates, the East Lancashire boyfriend of TV presenter Zoe Ball, has been found dead at his home in South London
TV cameraman Billy, who came from Darwen, had been in a relationship with the 46-year-old former Radio One breakfast DJ for several months.
Police confirmed they were called to a house in Putney last Thursday evening after reports a man had been found dead there.
No suspicious circumstances were reported by officers and a file has been passed to the coroner.
Mr Yates, whose father David and other family members are still understood to live in the Darwen area, had worked on the BBC’s Antiques Roadshow.
Ball told the Press Association that she is 'devastated' and made a request for privacy.
Her presenting duties on her Radio Two show on Saturday were taken over by Kate Thornton.
