Morris, who was diagnosed with kidney cancer in 2019, presented the show for 17 years, until a few weeks ago.
He died at Bury Hospice on Saturday, with his family by his side, ITV News confirmed on Monday.
Co-presenter Lucy Meacock, who worked alongside Morris on the show, said he "brightened up the whole of the North West for 17 years".
"He was without doubt one of the most humble, kind and funny people I have ever met, and he would often make me laugh till my sides ached," she said.
