"Her family would like to thank the nurses and staff for their tremendous care and support.
"Actor, writer and presenter - to the end Lynda was a consummate professional."

she had decided to stop her treatment. She is survived by her husband Michael Pattemore and two children, Michael and Robbie Peluso.
