Keith Floyd has passed away at the age of 65.

The celebrity chef died at his partner's home in Dorset after suffering a heart attack last night.

Fellow cook Marco Pierre White has paid tribute to Keith.
 
‘He was a natural cook,’ he tells the BBC.

‘But his very special talent was he could articulate himself and deliver inspiration with words. He spoke in a way that everybody could understand.
