Absolutely crushed to hear this.
Simon was an inspiration to so many who are fighting against false accusations. He is a personal hero of mine.
Please pray for his family.
“I like to think that my legacy will be a greater awareness of the human costs of false sexual allegations & wrongful convictions.
Simon Warr: BBC star says he’s receiving hospice care ‘I’m unlikely to be tweeting again’ https://t.co/4e9esFGmJi
An unmistakable presence, an incredible speaker and a person I will remain forever grateful to for helping and supporting me during some really difficult times.
Such news really is heartbreaking; your legacy will always live on. Goodbye dear friend - I hope you are at peace 💕
@bbcsimonwarr Devastated doesn't really cover the feeling - He had helped so many that suffered with a false accusation but he there was so much more to him. He was a fantastic friend to me and many others, passionate in everything he did and filled everyone with such hope & joy.
It goes without saying that, given how little time we now know he had left, it is simply atrocious that he lost 672 days fighting totally false allegations of sexual abuse which upset him for the rest of his days.
He was a tremendously loyal and very kind man whose abrasive on-air style belied his true thoughtfulness and compassion. He loved to broadcast, to write, and above all to teach. Taken too soon, and far too quickly. RIP
I am very sad to hear this. Simon Warr brought huge energy to every appearance he made @BBCRadio2 and @JeremyVineOn5, and there were many. He had incredible zest and a passion for learning and debate.

We’re very sad to be announcing that our friend and colleague Simon Warr died early this morning after a short spell with pancreatic cancer. Simon died surrounded by his family. He was a ‘one-off’ with a huge sense of fun. We will miss him so much.
Simon passed away peacefully at 4am this morning.
He will be greatly missed by Kaz & I - he was a great friend to me and my family.
