BBC Bill Turnbull Wife Sarah McCombie: Who Is She? Net Worth, Children & Family Details

Turnbull married Sarah McCombie in March 1988 in the London borough of Hackney. The couple had three children: a daughter named Flora, who was born in August 1991, and two sons named Henry and Will, who was born in October 1988 and October 1989, respectively.

Turnbull’s mild presenting manner, ideal for early morning television, made him a fan favorite among viewers on BBC Breakfast. When BBC Breakfast moved to Salford, Bill and Sarah, who had previously shared a home in Bucks, went to Rainow in Cheshire.

Bill announced in 2015 that he was leaving BBC Breakfast to spend more time with Sarah and his bees in Suffolk. He liked to dance, raise chickens, and keep bees. In May 2010, he published The Bad Beekeepers Club, a humorous book about the ups and downs of beekeeping.

After BBC Breakfast relocated to Salford in 2012, Turnbull and his wife left their home in Buckinghamshire and moved to Rainow, Cheshire. He then relocated to Suffolk. In March 2018, Turnbull revealed that he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer in November. He died on August 31, 2022, at the age of 66, at home in Suffolk.
