The broadcaster, Gloria Hunniford, has said the allegations of historic sex abuse against Sir Cliff Richard have "taken a terrible toll" on him both physically and mentally.

Sir Cliff has welcomed a decision by the Crown Prosecution Service not to prosecute him, but said he was angry that he'd been publicly named at the beginning of the investigation.

Ms Hunniford, who's known the singer for 45 years, told presenter Martha Kearney that it had been a "very difficult" two years for him.
