Celebrity chef Keith Floyd has died following a heart attack, aged 65.
He died at his partner's home in Dorset after the heart attack on Monday night, according to the ghost-writer of his autobiography, James Steen.
Floyd, from Faringdon in Oxfordshire, shot to fame in the 1980s in highly distinctive cookery shows, often fronted with a glass of wine in hand.
His idiosyncratic, often shambolic, style of presentation endeared him to millions of viewers around the world.

Another character that died way too young. RIP Keith
