    I cant even watch this as it's too sad.
    So very sad for his family and friends. And he was raising money for a charity also. May he Rest In Peace..

    I only got round finishing this series today would you believe, have had it recorded since Christmas, watched the first 30 mins of the final on Saturday and finished it today. Managed to avoid spoilers.

    Absolutely shocking about Matt, awful news, with his whole life ahead of him. It was like a gut punch when I read it.

    As for the series, I'm guessing like many people I thought he looked the winner from a long way out. He was head and shoulders above everyone else. Then just had a slightly dodgy round where the others raised their game to new heights and he was gone. I thought it was harsh myself.

    But overall the judges seem to favour a Chef's journey and growth over the series, where Matt came in at an extremely high level.

    I also think they were heavily biased towards Craig and the girl because of their age. You could Marcus, in particular, was very paternal towards both of them and they both got very lucky to not be going home earlier on.

    But at the end both of them were producing great food, the type that Matt was all along. I felt Stephen was going to win it but then just made some errors in the final.

    A great series, made poignant because of today's news.

    Shocked to read this earlier, so very sad. He was certainly one of the most memorable contestants, his poor family. RIP.

    Terribly sad news. He was brilliantly creative. I loved his dishes and approach to things.

    I can’t imagine how his family feels today.
