Entertainment reporter Peter Ford told Breakfast host Karl Langdon and stand-in Mark Readings that "people are saddened, confused and stunned" after popular DJ from The Ellen DeGeneres Show, tWitch, took his own life.

He said the sad death of tWitch, real name Steven Boss, came as a real shock. 

"He and his wife Alison had a very beautiful Instagram account, lots of positive stuff on it, they'd be dancing with their three kids," Ford says.

"Only three days he posted a video of he and his wife dancing around the Christmas tree at home."
