Tributes have come from across the showbiz and television world for Lynda Bellingham, who has died from colon cancer aged 66.

Another former Loose Women regular, Lisa Maxwell, said: "My Darling friend Lynda passed away last night. She was an inspiration to me as a wife, mother and as an actress. RIP beautiful lady."
Nadia Sawalha, who also appeared with Bellingham in the famous Oxo TV adverts, said the Loose Women team was devastated.
She told ITV's Lorraine show: "We're just all heartbroken because her last wish was that she would spend this Christmas with her family.
"Anyone that knew Lynda and knew her well, knew that she was this absolute live wire.
"She would come into a room and light the place up. Everybody loved her.
"She got me my first ever job on the Oxo ads ... I played her son's girlfriend in it and then we worked together on [TV series] Second Thoughts.
"She played my sister's mum. And we all absolutely adored her."
The show's official Twitter feed posted: "Our thoughts go to #lyndabellingham's family at this incredibly sad time and to all those who's lives she touch so deeply, as she did ours."
Bellingham - familiar to millions for her 16-year role in the famous Oxo adverts - died in her husband's arms at a London hospital just a month after revealing she planned to stop chemotherapy.
