Rolf Harris has died aged 93. The disgraced TV star died at his home, it's understood. As of October last year, the former singer and artist was receiving round-the-clock care for neck cancer.

He could reportedly no longer talk due to his condition and had to be fed through a tube. The disgraced entertainer and convicted sex offender's death was confirmed by a registrar at Maidenhead Town Hall to the PA news agency.

Australian-born Harris was a family favourite in the UK for decades before he was convicted of 12 indecent assaults at London’s Southwark Crown Court in June 2014.

His victims included an eight-year-old autograph hunter, two girls in their early teens and his daughter’s friend over 16 years.
