Gosh, that is a shock.

sashh · 27/11/2019 09:24

bloody hell.

TheFreaksShallInheritTheEarth · 27/11/2019 09:24

Strange, I was just wondering about him last week.

How sad, too young.

Nanamilly · 27/11/2019 09:24

That’s shocking news.

His family will be heartbroken.

LoseLooseLucy · 27/11/2019 09:25

Oh my goodness, no age at all Sad

RIP

Span1elsRock · 27/11/2019 09:29

I was really shocked when I read it..... that's no age.

I used to love his cookery shows Sad

Had no idea he was living in Dubai.

TheQueef · 27/11/2019 09:30

Blimey.
Poor Fern and family.

DuckWillow · 27/11/2019 09:31

Loved his cookery shows back in the day. I’ve made several very indulgent recipes of his too. Some form favourites to this day.

Rest in Peace Gary Rhodes and thank you for all you did to share your love of cooking with the world.

Fakeflowersaremynewnormal · 27/11/2019 09:31

Very sad I used to like doing his fancy version of British traditional dishes, loved his Bread and Butter Pudding.

SpiderCharlotte · 27/11/2019 09:32

Far too you. I have loads of cookbooks and his is by far the best I have.

Bluntness100 · 27/11/2019 09:32

It's really sad. He was so young.

It's so difficult to understand, he posted images to social media a few days ago, looking ok, and was in a hotel in Dubai when he passed, not a hospital, and with his family,

DogAndCatPerson · 27/11/2019 09:32

Poor Fern and family

?????

His wife is called Jennie.

TheDogsMother · 27/11/2019 09:33

This is so sad. He always seemed such a nice guy and it was his books and programmes the first sparked my interest in cooking.

TheQueef · 27/11/2019 09:34

I thought he was married to Fern Britton? Am I mixing him up?

Bluntness100 · 27/11/2019 09:34

Had no idea he was living in Dubai

Was he? Because he was staying at a resort when he sadly passed.

sam221 · 27/11/2019 09:35

Literally just read this, so sudden. RIP

MustBeDueSomeBetterFeet · 27/11/2019 09:35

I was so shocked and saddened to hear this. Some of my best memories of my younger days working in the city was eating out at City Rhodes and Rhodes 24. Fantastic chef and great exponent of British cuisine.

spacepyramid · 27/11/2019 09:35

HIs family have asked for privacy and haven't released a cause of death so no doubt the tabloids will be all over it tomorrow and raking muck. I hope I'm wrong.

Foghead · 27/11/2019 09:37

That’s sad.
My dh got into cooking because of Gary. He quite liked his cookery programmes so when Gary was doing a book signing nearby, I got him to sign a book for dh and he was lovely.
Dh was chuffed and tried quite a few recipes and impressed family and friends immensely.
RIP Gary

Nothingbutquestions · 27/11/2019 09:37

Yes TheQueef, it's Phil Vickery Fern is married to.

lionsonplanes · 27/11/2019 09:37

The Queef, the chef Phil Vickery is married to Ferne Britten.

Fakeflowersaremynewnormal · 27/11/2019 09:37
