    Loved an auld episode of supermarket Sweep when I was pulling a sicky from school.
    He was before his time with the tan, you could say he inspired a whole generation of women (and pouty mirror loving men) to be as orange as possible.
    Seemed like a decent stick, very young at 62. RIP.

    Glazers Out!

    Yeah i used to do the same, 9.30 in the morning lying on the couch watching this :D.

    For years i'd be watching them throwing in likes of BBQ's & everything, thinking that would be so cool to be able to do, i always thought they got to keep it all at the end. Only on watching the re-runs nowadays, it was all about the value of the goods :o

    Very sad but in a way it's better he's at peace now. Aids is a very cruel disease.
    Where are you getting that as the cause of his death?

    Vaguely remember Supermarket Sweep. I'd just take the trolly and run down to the off licence section and leg it out the studio doors with the booze.

    He seemed nice. I really don't know how he didn't laugh in the face of these two.

    RIP Dale Winton. :( He was a great game show host and seemed a pretty decent chap. Bit too much fake tan at times!

    The cause of his death has not been released. Very few people in the West die of AIDS since the availability of effective medications to treat HIV since the late 1990s. The idea that a gay man dying relatively young must have had AIDS belongs to the bigoted 1980s and more tolerant but still pretty ignorant 90s.
