Bland's tragic death comes two years after she was after diagnosed with breast cancer. Her family confirmed that the mother-of-one passed away peacefully, surrounded by her loved ones.
Bland was a newsreader on Radio 5 Live and co-hosted a podcast about cancer called You, Me and the Big C. She also ran an award-winning blog about her life with the diagnosis.
Following the announcement, Bland’s husband, Steve said in a statement: “She was an incredibly talented broadcaster as well as a wonderful and much loved daughter, sister, aunt, niece, wife and, most importantly to her, a mother to her precious little Freddie.”
