TV presenter Gaby Roslin has paid tribute to Sir Terry Wogan.

Having co-presented Children in Need with him for more than ten years, Roslin spoke about her friend on ITV's Lorraine this morning.

"He was a properly funny man. He was very, very cheeky and I think that's the thing, my abiding memory of working with him," she said.

"Yesterday I had to do my radio show and the first 15 minutes I found so difficult and I was doing my tribute to him, but then I realised he'd be sitting behind me, poking me in the ribs as he used to do and saying, 'What are you doing? It's only radio, get on with it. Make people happy, make people laugh'.

"Because that was his big thing, he loved to entertain, he loved to make people laugh. He had an enormous brain, I mean he was fiercely clever, very bright man. He used to say if something went wrong in one of the shows we did... he used to say, 'Gaby, it's only TV', and he was right."

She also revealed an experience she had following the news of Sir Terry's passing yesterday.

"I went off to work and the taxi driver that drove me in saw me get into the taxi and he burst into tears. He said, 'I can't imagine how you're feeling because he was a friend of yours, but I felt like he was a friend of mine and I'm in tears'.

"Then when he said goodbye to me when I arrived at the BBC, the taxi driver started crying again, he said, 'Oh please don't tell anybody my name but please remember me to his family and tell them he affected us in a wonderful way, we all loved him', and that moved me more than anything."

ITV's Lorraine features as part of Good Morning Britain on ITV on weekdays 8.30am-9.25am.
