Magician Paul Daniels has died aged 77, his publicist has said.
The TV star had recently been diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour and had returned home to "see out his last days".
Before his death he set up a Go Fund me page to help raise money for cancer patients in his honour.
Daniels is best known for The Paul Daniels Magic Show which ran on UK TV from 1979 until 1994 and was how he met his wife "the lovely Debbie McGee".
Debbie McGee has said she and husband Paul Daniels had a "fairytale life" together as she paid tribute to him.
McGee, his wife of 28 years, thanked well-wishers for their support and said the pair had spent their remaining time together at home eating magnums, watching ITV's The Chase and spending time in the garden.
Speaking to the BBC, she said: "Our life has been full of laughter and that's what it's been the last few weeks. Up until the last 48 hours when he slipped into a sleep."
Choking back the tears, McGee added: "He never saw me cry. I smiled. I put my make up on and hair every day."
Paying tribute to Paul, she said: "The way to describe Paul was that, yes he did television shows and people knew who he was and he did shows for royalty and we flew around the world. You know we had a fairytale life and we were so happy together.
"But Paul as a person was like in the village, in the queue for the post office, either doing tricks on them or making them all laugh. And he was as happy doing that as he was walking on stage at the Palladium or doing a TV show or doing a show for the Royal Family. He loved people. He was interested in everybody."
The magician's wife Debbie McGee thanked family and friends for helping her get through the "special day".
