A manager at Childline Liverpool has paid tribute to the charity's "wonderful" founder Dame Esther Rantzen.
Dame Esther, who presented BBC One's show That's Life! for 21 years and launched the charity counselling service for young people 40 years ago, died on Wednesday at the age of 86.
Dame Esther hosted and produced the programme from 1973 to 1994 which regularly attracted 20m viewers for its mix of serious consumer investigations and light-hearted items.
Marian Blackburn, a team leader at Childline Liverpool, said the star was "kind, compassionate and formidable" and everyone was "deeply saddened" at the news.
Dame Esther launched Childline in 1986 and in 2013 set up Silver Line to help elderly people suffering from isolation and loneliness.

Let's just get this out of the way: Mark Wahlberg is as A-list as it gets. He broke out in 1997's "Boogie Nights," and in the nearly three decades since, he's built one of the highest-wattage careers in Hollywood: two Academy Award nominations, a Golden Globe nod for "The Fighter," multiple Emmy nominations as a producer (HBO's "Entourage" among them), and a filmography that spans crime dramas, comedies, and action blockbusters. Right now, he's back on screen in "By Any Means," a manhunt thriller set during the 1966 Mississippi civil rights killings.
He's also signaling where he's increasingly turning his attention. Wahlberg will sit down with Bruce K. Lee, Founder and CEO of Keebeck Wealth Management, on the main stage at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 to talk about his own progression. Grab your ticket here so you don't miss a moment of this session and Disrupt 2026. Ticket prices increase on September 25.

His acting career is really just part of the picture. Over the past two decades, Wahlberg has built a production company, a restaurant chain, apparel and fitness ventures, a slate of angel investments, and the now 25-year-old Mark Wahlberg Youth Foundation, which supports inner-city kids and teens. He's used his Hollywood success to launch big projects well outside the movie business — and in a fireside chat at this year's Disrupt, he's going to give us a peek into how.
Wahlberg, who's leaned almost entirely on entrepreneurial instinct about people, culture, products, and markets, is now someone who's been building institutional-level investing discipline, with Lee as his guide, and with a growing focus on healthcare and wellness startups. It's a rare, unvarnished look at how someone with Wahlberg's cultural intelligence has worked his way into some of the most sophisticated rooms in business and finance.

Ben Affleck spent quality time with his two eldest kids, Violet, 20, and Fin, 17, after celebrating his birthday with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, a week prior.
The actor stepped out in black pants and a light-colored ******* on-down as he took Violet and Fin to Fia, a restaurant in Santa Monica.
Ben was seen in Santa Monica getting dinner with Violet and Fin (@ roll/X17online.com)
Violet stood tall in a red skirt that fell to her knees, paired with a purple sweater, running shoes and a cross-body bag. She wore a mask on her face as usual, with the university student speaking out in the past about the importance of public health.
Fin was dressed in dark-colored overalls and a striped long-sleeve shirt, paired with sneakers and a cross-body bag like their sister. Ben's 14-year-old son, Samuel, was not present.

Kenya Moore is officially heading back to the Miss USA stage more than three decades after winning the crown.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum has been confirmed as a co-host of the Miss USA 75th Diamond Celebration, airing live Thursday, Aug. 27 at 8 p.m. ET on The CW. Moore will share hosting duties with Beverly Hills, 90210 and Sharknado star Ian Ziering for the two-hour event at Miami's Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts.
COMPLEX SHOP: Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere. Uncover what's next. Buy. Collect. Obsess.
Miss USA announced the pair on Instagram after initially teasing Moore's involvement without naming her. "You guessed right! Meet the hosts of the historic 75th Diamond Celebration of MISS USA, kenya and ianziering!" the organization wrote in its follow-up post. "The countdown to Miami is officially ON, and we can't wait to celebrate 75 years of Miss USA with you."
The confirmation clears up earlier reports that Moore was merely being eyed for the job. Miss USA had first posted a Reel describing a mystery co-host as a former winner who parlayed her crown into a lengthy reality television career. "Now she's coming back to the Miss USA stage to co-host the 75th Diamond Celebration," the organization teased. The clues quickly pointed to Moore before Miss USA made her participation official.

Former Prince Andrew has had scandal after scandal, and it was only recently that he was stripped of his ******* le and ordered to vacate his home at Royal Lodge. So, what changed? His close ties to Jeffrey Epstein were widely known for years, and the British royal family never took a firm stance with him. If anything, they're guilty of letting him get away with too much for too long.
According to RadarOnline, what changed was Kate Middleton. The outlet pointed to her and Queen Camilla as the key figures in Andrew's "downfall" and his ban from Sandringham. The disgraced ex-prince is currently under investigation for suspicion of misconduct in public office and ******* crimes.
