Keith Floyd, the outspoken television chef, has died after a heart attack. He was 65.
Tributes have been paid by his fellow chefs after the presenter, who was
diagnosed with bowel cancer earlier this year, died at his partner’s home in Dorset. Floyd, who was said by many to be the first true ‘celebrity’ chef in Britain, died on Monday night, the ghost-writer of his autobiography, James Steen told the BBC. Among the early tributes to the flamboyant chef– famous for enjoying copious amounts of wine while cooking outdoors on his shows – was Marco Pierre White. Pierre White told the BBC that Floyd was a “beautiful man” and described his death as a “sad day for the nation”. After his battle with bowel cancer was announced in July, ad vowed to beat the disease despite having five serious operations since he was diagnosed. Floyd, from Faringdon in Oxfordshire, shot to fame in the 1980s for his distinctive cookery shows, which he often presented with a a glass of wine in hand. His idiosyncratic presentation style wow him a legion of fans. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/foodanddr...loyd-dies.html |

He looked awful, about to be chucked out of his French house. His face showed the years of heavy smoking and boozing, RIP to one of life's characters. JT |
