Friend and fellow TV presenter Davina McCall remembered Winton as “a lovely, warm, kind, sensitive, generous soul with a touch of naughty”. Here are some of the TV star’s most memorable moments...

Supermarket Sweep

Winton starred as the host of Supermarket Sweep between 1993 and 2000, telling excited contestants to “go wild in the isles” and finishing each show with the catchphrase: “The next time you’re at the checkout and you hear the beep, think of the fun you could be having on Supermarket Sweep!”

Winton appeared on the TV shows 1994 Christmas song with a disco beat called "Will You Dance With Me".

Hole in the Wall

Based on the Japanese original, contestants on Hole in the Wall donned lycra and contorted themselves into ridiculous positions. Some critics branded it too trashy for the BBC, and it only ran for two series.

Would I Lie to You

Winton appeared on BBC panel show, Would I Lie To You? in 2012 and told the other guests he used to sleep with a potato instead of a teddy bear.

The opposing team thought he was telling the truth, but it turned out to be untrue.

Royal Variety Performance

Winton's self-deprecating sense of humour was demonstrated fully at the 2001 Royal Variety Performance, when he appeared alongside comedian John Culshaw, who mocked him relentlessly.

Trainspotting

The TV show host had a cameo role in 1996 cult-classic Trainspotting, appearing in a scene in which lead character Mark Renton (Ewan McGregor) hallucinates during withdrawal.
