The Sun's Fergus Shanahan picked an unfortunate day to ruminate on the "miraculous" health of TV chef Keith Floyd. "Magician Derren Brown's Lotto trick was little short of miraculous. But not as big a miracle as the state of TV chef Keith Floyd's innards," wrote Shanahan in today's edition. "Docs opened him up for surgery after a lifetime of drunken mayhem and his liver was perfect despite having seen enough booze to float an air-craft carrier." Floyd's death was announced early today, two months after he revealed he had been diagnosed with bowel cancer. And the night after the broadcast of the Channel 4 documentary in which Keith Allen visited the former TV chef in the south of France earlier this year. Monkey will always have fond memories of the chef, whose occasionally anarchic TV presenting style was a joy to watch, and all without an F-word every 30 seconds or so. We raise a glass to you Keith! The drinks are on Shanahan.
