 Former Sky News anchor Dermot Murnaghan dies at 68 after battle with stage four prostate cancer


Former Sky News anchor Dermot Murnaghan has died at the age of 68, one year after revealing he had been diagnosed with stage four prostate cancer.


His family confirmed that the veteran broadcaster died peacefully at his home in north London on Saturday, July 11, following a period of illness.


A statement shared by his family said: “It is with great sadness that the family of Dermot Murnaghan announces that he passed away at home in north London earlier this morning at the age of 68 following a period of illness with prostate cancer.”


“He died peacefully with his family at his side.”


The family also thanked the medical teams who cared for Murnaghan during his illness and acknowledged the messages of support he received after announcing his diagnosis.


Murnaghan revealed in 2024 that he had stage four prostate cancer. At the time, he said he was responding positively to treatment and feeling well.


The journalist was a leading figure at Sky News for 15 years before leaving the channel in 2023. During his broadcasting career, he also worked with the BBC, ITV and Channel 4.


Former Sky News colleague Anna Botting paid tribute to Murnaghan, describing him as a journalist who was committed to accuracy and challenging those in power.


“What Dermot brought to this craft of journalism was pinpoint accuracy,” she said. “He was hugely conscientious, which brought out the detail of stories. And he was utterly fearless with politicians however erudite and articulate they were.”


Murnaghan covered some of the biggest events in recent British and international news, including Sky News’ coverage of the Queen’s death, the 2019 general election, Prince Philip’s funeral and the 2020 U.S. presidential election.
