The two made it to the latter stages of the competition, after being kept in by a public vote.<\/p>\n
Announcing the sad news, his son Dean wrote: \u201cIt is with a heavy heart and great sadness that I have to let you all know that the legend that is Dave Betton sadly passed away after a very brief illness, surrounded by his loved ones.<\/p>\n
Myself, my brother Darren, our wives, his grandsons and granddaughters, great grandsons and great granddaughters, extended family and all his friends will miss him dearly and he will leave us with a huge void to fill.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added: \u201cRest easy Pops and I hope Mum is giving you a big telling off for joining her far too soon. Love you always. From me and your loving Family.\u201d<\/p>\n
