Mike Smith

Biography

Otherwise known as "Smiffy", Mike Smith was one of Radio 1's star DJs back in the 1980s and did a fair amount of TV work too, such as Saturday Superstore and the Late, Late Breakfast Show. A qualified helicopter pilot, he is perhaps most remembered for surviving a dramatic crash along with his wife, ex-Blue Peter presenter Sarah Greene. Both Smith and Greene also appeared as themselves in the infamous spoof documentary Ghostwatch.

He died on 1 August 2014, aged 59, following complications after major heart surgery.
