Been watching him for years. Suicide.

I am absolutely gutted! I've been watching him for years too.

Never heard of him. But always to sad to hear about somebody taking their own life

Heard of him but never watched his programmes. More of a Rick Stein man. RIP though. Very sad.

So sad, he was brilliant. Didn't follow is chef career but his TV shows, analysis and personality was brilliant.

I was shocked to read this today, really enjoyed the way he told a story.
Always thought he was quite open about his troubles.

Wife introduced him to me. Absolute character with some serious demons, which in most cases maketh the man. RIP Tony.

I've only just seen him for the first time in an interview on youtube and I like him already. Damn that's sad... RIP

Read Kitchen Confidential and watch all his shows, he's incredibly entertaining.

The "bad boy" chef that never really seemed to get the "main stream" reputation that he deserved. Yesterday was a terrible day; but combined with today being the anniversary of Rik Mayall's passing has hit me a little hard. RIP two amazing gentlemen.

Sorry for your loss. He was great to watch - more down to earth than most. He will be greatly missed.
