Devastated Vick Hope paid an emotional tribute to Joe Lyons, the tragic Capital FM producer who died last week.
The Strictly Come Dancing star is heartbroken at the loss of her close friend and penned some special words on Instagram as she comes to terms with the harrowing news.
Fellow DJ Roman Kemp broke down as he returned to the station for the first time since he found out.
Popular Joe had worked at Global for nine years, on Capital and sister station LBC.
Roman, 27, and his co-stars Sian Welby, 33, and Sonny Jay, 27, took time off after hearing the devastating news.
Details of his death are yet to be made public.
Vick was also very close to the talented producer and in a lengthy message she told fans just how much her colleague and friend meant to her.
She wrote: “Our Joe. My JoeJoe. My special, magical, beautiful friend. We signed off every message with ‘I love you, buddy’, and yet I’m worried I still didn’t tell you enough.
“I really do love you, bud, so so much. We all do. I hope you know that. We are so lucky to have known you. The world is a better place for having had you in it. And now the stars have gained an extraordinary gift in you.
“Look at everything you made, Joe. Everything you achieved, what you built, who you inspired.
“Your talent and creativity are so immense, but more than that you are the kindest, most hilarious, caring, fun, fiercely loyal and spectacular person any of us had the pleasure of meeting. You really are the best one we ever knew. Our friend. My friend.”
Vick, sharing a series of pictures of them together, recalled their fun times together.
She went on: “For the last four years you have been my solace, my rock, my confidante. I’ve told you all my secrets, and you said you’d take them to the grave.
“Now it seems you did just that, and it breaks my heart. Words cannot describe this pain, it doesn’t make sense and it’ll take time to process.
