Saw this on a website earlier on and it has just been announced on Sky News that She has died from cancer aged just 63 :cry:

One of, if not the best of the Dr Who companions.She was a bit of a fantasy figure when i used to watch Dr Who as young teen when Tom Baker was in it.

R.I.P

Deeply crap news - was tweeted earlier and didn't believe it until I saw the lead on BBC News at nine :(

The bestest Companion the Doctor ever had.

Thanks Lis...

Very sad news. I hadn't realised she was so old (62), I'd have put her in her mid-fifties.

Heartbreaking. One of the best. And the Sarah Jane Adventures was a very clever, good format too. She will be missed.

There will be a short tribute on CBBC at 18:45 tonight, 23rd April (presumably concentrating on her Sarah Jane role).
