ITV has removed an impression of Dale Winton from its new panel show following the TV presenter's death.

Rory Bremner, a team captain on The Imitation Game, revealed producers cut out a segment containing Winton, 62, after he was found dead at his London home in April.

Speaking to The Sun, impressionist Bremner said: “There's an impression of Dale Winton but we had to sadly cut it out. We play a game called Celebrity Zoo and panellists have to describe Snail Winton.

“But it was recorded a while ago and so far we've been quite fortunate with any other deaths.”

Former Supermarket Sweep presenter Winton died of natural causes in April, his agent said.

Winton became a household name with game shows such as Supermarket Sweep, Touch The Truck and the National Lottery game show In It To Win It.
