TV presenter and actress Annabel Giles has died aged 64

Molly McQueen and Tedd Giles paid tribute to their “incredible mother” who was “truly one of a kind” in a statement shared on her social media accounts after she passed away on Monday.

It read: “In July, Mum was diagnosed with a stage 4 glioblastoma, a fast-growing and highly aggressive malignant brain tumour.

“In the months that followed, she displayed remarkable resilience and strength, despite undergoing brain surgery and countless radiotherapies. In her final weeks, she was passionate about raising awareness for glioblastoma.”

The former model hosted ITV fashion show Posh Frocks and New Trousers with Sarah Greene in the 1990s, was a panelist on shows including Have I Got News For You and appeared on I’m A Celebrity.

She was married to musician and record producer Midge Ure, with whom she had Molly. They later divorced before she had Tedd in another relationship.

Most recently, Annabel, who starred in 1993 film Riders and joked on her X account bio she was “Not Annabel Croft”, was the resident agony aunt on the Eleri Sion show for BBC Radio Wales and worked as a psychotherapist after retraining.

Her children added: “True to her nature, she kept spirits high and maintained her quick wit until the very end. Her humour and laughter will leave us inspired to live life to the fullest, just as she always did.”

Channel 4 news anchor Krishnan Guru-Murthy, 53, who co-starred on Posh Frocks and New Trousers, described Annabel as “so funny, clever and gorgeous”.

While fellow host Sarah, 66, co-dedicated candles lit for what would have been her father’s 100th birthday, saying: “With love, Greenebottome XX”.

Molly and Tedd asked for donations to be made to Martlets Hospice in Hove.
