I don't know how many of you may watch Ideal World on sky etc., Just been on a website I belong to and the news on there that Steve Whatley died on monday he was only 46......I was only watching him do a Disney hour a couple of weeks back...Just a year older than me....Certainly brings it home to you....Diane

He also used to be on QVC and This Morning, did gadgets on there I think. More recently he had his self tan stuff as his own business.

Apparently reading on another site it was reported in the Sun today he committed suicide after the break up of his marriage. A great shame. Diane

I have been trawling the internet looking for information, but no-one mentions how he died, just that it was peaceful. Its so sad. I hope that he didnt commite suicide. He reallt was a nice man.

Afraid it was suicide. My son works in tv and was told a few hours after his death. Its a great shame. I always thought he was a lovely man. The thing is often this very over the top 'happy' people are the ones struggling the most to survive. I got some of his tanning stuff. Not used it yet though. Terrible waste of a nice person.

diane according to one site he died on monday 7th november 2005. wonder what date is right susie

Lucky

Lucky Report 18 Jan 2006 11:36

Thats probably right, it wasn't announced until several days after. What site did you find it on?? Apparently it's in the Mail and Times, but my Mail must be an earlier edition as it's not there.
