Celebrity hairdresser Trevor Sorbie has died aged 75 after being diagnosed with terminal cancer, posts on his social media accounts said.

The British celebrity hairdresser - who has appeared on ITV's This Morning to give hair care advice - told fans just weeks ago that he had been told a cancer he had been first diagnosed with in 2019 had spread. And on Friday, his team confirmed that he had tragically passed away following his brave fight against the disease.

An emotional post on his Instagram page read: "It is with heartfelt emotion that we share the passing of our esteemed founder, Trevor Sorbie MBE. Trevor passed away peacefully with his family and beloved dog by his side. Trevor’s journey, marked by unparalleled creativity and kindness, has left an indelible mark on the world of hairdressing and beyond.

"From pioneering The Wedge five decades ago to establishing our first salon in 1979, Trevor’s vision set new standards and continues to inspire generations. As we commemorate 45 years of Trevor Sorbie salons, we remain steadfast in upholding the passion, artistry, and dedication that he embodied.

"Trevor often reminded us to “be bold, be different, but always do everything in good taste.” His ethos of kindness, care, and excellence continues to guide us. He expressed immense pride in our team and confidence in our commitment to carrying forward his legacy.

"Honouring Trevor’s wishes, there will be no funeral. In lieu of flowers, we invite you to support four charities: Marie Curie, Cancer Research UK, Rowans Hospice and My New Hair, all close to his heart. We also plan to celebrate his remarkable life and contributions with a special event next year and will share details in due course.

"Thank you for being an integral part of our community and for your continued support as we honour Trevor’s legacy. With gratitude, The Trevor Sorbie Team."

News of professional hairdresser's passing comes just weeks after he revealed he was fighting back terminal cancer and had been given weeks to live. The hair care professional had been first diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2019 and then revealed in October this year that the disease had spread and become terminal.

After his condition worsened, Trevor was told that chemotherapy treatment could help extend his life expectancy, but he boldy turned down the offer of the medication. Speaking about his decision on ITV, he said: "I can't face any more of that poison."
