Australian TV star Adriana Xenides has died at the age of 54.
The former presenter of Wheel of Fortune, who had been admitted to Liverpool Hospital with a stomach complaint, died on Sunday after suffering from a rumoured ruptured intestine.
Her former co-host John Burgess, who visited her shortly before her death, told AAP: "It's incredibly sad, she was a great friend and a TV legend."
Seven Network director Tim Worner added: "Adriana was a wonderful performer. Her charm and her warmth were always shining brightly and she was her bubbly self with one and all - the same with contestants, audience members or crew.
"The lady was a class act and her many friends at Seven will miss her. We are really sad to hear the news and our thoughts are with Adriana's family and friends."
