"Our hearts go out to his parents, to his partner and to all his family and friends."

Now, some news publications are reporting that Sheridan died from a brain anyeurism. He was apparently on a run when he collapsed and was rushed to hospital the week before.

Friend and fellow presenter Connor Gillies said: "A uniquely talented broadcaster, writer and journalist but above all a throughout decent, funny, thoughtful pal who was great fun. An absolute pleasure knowing Nick. He thought of everyone before himself."

Amy Irons from BBC Scotland added: "Absolutely devastated. The world has lost one of its brightest human beings and journalism has lost one of the most talented people I've ever had the pleasure of working with. We are all going to miss you so much Nick."
