UK news: BBC presenter Evan Davis was told on his wedding day his father had killed himself
BBC broadcaster Evan Davis found out through a phone call on his wedding day that his seriously ill father had taken his own life.
“He was very elderly and it was definitely time. There’s actually nothing we can do. So I’m going to propose that we carry on.”Davis, 61, who has fronted shows including TV’s Dragons’ Den and BBC Radio 4’s PM programme, and BBC Radio 4 programme Today programme, recalled that his father had made a “proud and loving” speech when he entered a civil partnership ceremony with Mr Baltz in 2012.
Davis told journalist Decca Aitkenhead, whom he spoke to with his family’s agreement, that he “burst into tears” when he was back at work the next day and colleagues asked about the wedding.
