Singer and TV star Cilla Black, who enjoyed a 50-year showbusiness career, has died aged 72, her agent has said.

The 1960s singing star became a popular TV celebrity on such shows as Blind Date and Surprise Surprise.

Police in Malaga said a woman named Priscilla White - Black's real name - had died in Estepona in the Costa del Sol region.

The death appeared to be due to natural causes, but this had not yet been confirmed by tests, police said.

I didn't like her harsh singing voice and her TV shows were cringeworthy.  Not my cup of tea at all.

Aye, I was in a very isolated pub on Sunday night and I overheard some people talking about her at the bar.  With the way things are these days, I thought that she might have been accused of being a very naughty girl in the past.  Didn't particularly like her, but glad that my fears haven't been realised.
