:Sue Baker, one of the early presenters on long-running BBC motoring show Top Gear, has died at the age of 75.
The presenter and journalist, who had motor neurone disease (MND), died on Monday, her family said.
Baker joined Top Gear in 1980, three years after its launch, and appeared in more than 100 episodes.
She left in 1991, going on to set up the Motor Racing News Service based at the Brands Hatch race track. She was also the Observer's motoring editor.
A statement issued by her family on Monday said: "It is with great sadness that we share the news of Sue's passing. A doting mother to Ian and Hannah, a loving grandmother to Tom and George, and a wonderful mother-in-law to Lucy. She passed at home this morning with family around her.
"She was a talented and prolific writer, a charismatic TV presenter, and a passionate animal lover. She had a life and career that many would envy, but did it all with such grace that she was admired and respected by all who knew her. We know she meant so much to so many.
"Thank you to everyone who has supported her over the last few years as she battled with MND."
