‘Cal had that talent and what’s amazing is that it was the second most impressive thing about her. The first was what an excellent person she was.’
Wilson was suffering from a rare and aggressive form of cancer when she died at 53, Daily Mail Australia understands.
She was surrounded by loved ones when she passed away at Sydney’s Royal Prince Alfred Hospital.
The comedian, who lived in Melbourne, was in Sydney filming The Great Australian Bake Off when she was admitted to hospital.

It’s understood Wilson was battling cancer in secret and only revealed the details of her illness to close family and friends.
She was in hospital for two weeks before her death, with entertainment reporter Peter Ford suggesting the cancer was related to her lungs.
In the hours after her death was announced, Great Australian Bake Off judge Darren Purchase said the comedian appeared ‘very sick’ the last time he saw her.
‘I am sorry this has happened to such a good person, and I cannot get out of my head the last time I saw her when she was very sick,’ he wrote.
‘I wish I could give her a hug and tell her how much she means to me and so many people.’
