Caron Keating

I'd just like to do a quick obituary for the wonderful Caron Keating, the former Blue Peter presenter who sadly died this week. Caron Keating, you may remember, was the Irish presenter (daughter of Gloria Hunniford) who wore some very interesting clothes (I even think she once wore a rubber dress on the programme...!) and, to be honest, I had a huge crush on her. I even wrote into the programme and told her she was the best presenter since Sarah Greene(!). I got a signed photo in return, so my embarrassment wasn't in vain!

Caron died from breast cancer, which she had been battling for seven years. She leaves behind a husband and two children. We here at the KinkyMachine will miss her.
