I’ve never been into celebrity Chefs, but he was a fabulous Chef that created the sort of food, I like to eat.


Just saw that. Very sad.

They haven't said what he died from. Was he ill?


According to TV company Rock Oyster Media, Rhodes had been filming a new ITV series when he was "taken ill very suddenly at home".

Tragic accident.

Blimey...Bob Willis has popped his clogs! He was a Colt at my Dad's Cricket club and when he was around used to turn on a Sunday for a beer.

Total legend, just for that one 1981 wicket fest.....let alone the rest of his career.

Yep. Had the rare talent of being able to get kids really interested in stuff that they'd usually find boring.
