John Stapleton was the ultimate professional. A brilliant broadcaster and journalist. But he also showed respect to everyone he worked with. That is why former colleagues are so sad today. He was part of the team and we were all privileged to know him.
Sad to hear of the death of John Stapleton. From Watchdog to Breakfast television he was a brilliant presenter. I remember him on BBC1’s Nationwide in the early evenings. Here’s my musical tribute to an outstanding journalist and broadcaster.
John was a friend, a colleague and a great journalist. Few understood or communicated to an audience better than him. Off air he was a generous and supportive colleague who was a cheerleader for many in our newsroom and beyond. We'll miss you Stapes
Our friend and colleague John Stapleton died in hospital on Sunday morning at the age of 79.
In a broadcasting career that spanned five decades, John Stapleton was one of ITV’s most trusted and respected news journalists and a much loved face of breakfast television.
We are saddened to hear of his passing and we send our love and very deepest sympathies to his family and friends, as well as his many colleagues who will always remember him fondly.
We will be paying tribute to him on tomorrow's GMB.

Farewell to Howard Hughes. So, so sad to hear the news today of this huge figure in commercial radio. What a voice - and he knew how to command an audience with it. Here's an hour in his company, telling his story - alone: https://t.co/x4EFHnxWl1
