Antiques Roadshow star Theo Burrell has passed away at the age of 39 following her brain cancer diagnosis. Her husband shared the news via social media, writing that she passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on Wednesday afternoon.
The couple had married in March this year, at an intimate ceremony in Edinburgh. Burrell's husband described her as an incredible person who fought hard for her family, friends, and raising awareness of her condition.
Burrell joined Antiques Roadshow in 2018 and had been open about her terminal brain tumour diagnosis. She was initially diagnosed in 2021 after experiencing a series of terrible migraines.
A scan revealed that she had a glioblastoma – a type of brain tumour which begins as cell growth in the brain or spine. Despite undergoing surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, her tumour had begun to grow again in October 2024.
Burrell spent her last hours surrounded by her family on July 8, before passing away. Her husband expressed sadness that her condition had deteriorated quickly, despite her medical team's efforts.
