Oh dear, that is sad. He was presenter on Blue Peter when my sons were young.

According to Wiki, Noakes was bitter about  Blue Peter and his part in it.

I recognise him but was never a Blue Peter fan. Good to know he lived to 83 though.

Well no, not really. He had Alzheimers for many years before his death.
