‘He was a genius at what he did’

THE cooking world lined up to pay tribute to TV chef Keith Floyd after his death from a heart attack.

Floyd, who revealed in July that he was battling against bowel cancer, died at his partner’s home in Dorset last night, his ghost writer James Steen said.

The 65-year-old’s booze-fuelled television shows made him a household name and he wrote more than 20 books.
