ITV This Morning star dies but 'won't have funeral' for heartbreaking reason

Celebrity hairstylist Trevor Sorbie has died aged 75 - but there will be no funeral to mark his passing. The iconic hairdresser died just weeks after revealing he had been diagnosed with terminal bowel cancer on This Morning, where he made regular appearances.

A tribute announcing the star's death from his team revealed there would be no funeral held. This is because Trevor himself had requested no event be held.

He previously admitted he didn't want a funeral because it would be “too upsetting”. His team have said they plant to celebrate his 'remarkable life and contributions' with a special event next year instead.

A tribute read: "It is with heartfelt emotion that we share the passing of our esteemed founder, Trevor Sorbie MBE. Trevor passed away peacefully with his family and beloved dog by his side.

"Trevor’s journey, marked by unparalleled creativity and kindness, has left an indelible mark on the world of hairdressing and beyond. From pioneering The Wedge five decades ago to establishing our first salon in 1979, Trevor’s vision set new standards and continues to inspire generations.

"As we commemorate 45 years of Trevor Sorbie salons, we remain steadfast in upholding the passion, artistry, and dedication that he embodied. Trevor often reminded us to “be bold, be different, but always do everything in good taste.” His ethos of kindness, care, and excellence continues to guide us. He expressed immense pride in our team and confidence in our commitment to carrying forward his legacy.

"Honouring Trevor’s wishes, there will be no funeral. In lieu of flowers, we invite you to support four charities: Marie Curie, Cancer Research UK, Rowans Hospice and My New Hair, all close to his heart. We also plan to celebrate his remarkable life and contributions with a special event next year and will share details in due course.

"Thank you for being an integral part of our community and for your continued support as we honour Trevor’s legacy. With gratitude, The Trevor Sorbie Team."

Trevor leaves behind his wife Carole. They both ran a charity together, called My New Hair, which helps supply wigs for people with cancer.
