Former ITV news presenter Carol Barnes has died aged 63 after suffering a stroke.

The journalist, who featured on all of ITV's main news bulletins, was admitted to the Royal Sussex County Hospital in Brighton earlier this month.

Barnes went on to present all of ITV's main news programmes, including News at Ten, and worked on the now-defunct ITV News Channel when it opened in 2000.

Just 63. It seems so young.

So desperately sad. She lost her daughter about 3 years ago in a freak accident who was on holiday in Australia and she apparently never got over it.

I understand she then turned to the demon drink to try and numb the pain as her daughter meant the absolute world to her.

So sorry for all her family and friends.

R.I.P. Carol.

Yeas, read about her loss the other day. Very sad - suppose she just couldn`t be arsed living anymore.

Only a couple of years older than me. Always came across as a nice lady.
