How sad ! I believe they were driving on their farm and accidentally drove into a body of water and drowned 🥲

Phil and Kirsty.

I always remember the programme he made about going on the trail of his grandfather who was a GP in Australia and lived on Tamborine Mountain.

Oh that's awful. Poor Phil. He always seems such a nice person compared to nippy Kirsty.

Very sad news this morning. I love watching Phil and Kirsty on Location. Apparently there was another women aged 60 she escaped unhurt. Many condolences Phil and family.

Shocking and very sad news. Poor Phil Spencer family and friends.

Phil is one of those presenters who seems very relaxed in his own skin, and content.. no doubt as a result of his upbringing.. such a shock and tragedy.. I feel for him

ParlorGames Sun 20-Aug-23 11:10:27

How dreadfully tragic and sad! Thoughts and prayers for Phil and his family.

Dreadful tragedy for Phil Spencer and the rest of his family. Sending condolences.

Father had dementia and mother had Prkinson's . She had recently remarked to Phil that they would probably go together so this is a comfort to th family . The third person in the car was their carer who survived so she will be able to tell what happened . She might have been the driver . They were on their way for a pub lunch sadly .

Apparently they were a very close family. He has a brother and two sisters . The brother runs the parents farm. He said he had an idyllic outdoors childhood

eazybee Sun 20-Aug-23 22:27:34

I am very sorry to hear this and particularly the tragic way in which they died.

BlueBelle Mon 21-Aug-23 09:13:49

As they were both ill in old age and only a few days before expressed that they d like to go together perhaps this is what they wanted
Don’t shoot me down it’s a serious thought

Smileless2012 Mon 21-Aug-23 09:17:22

I hope that there can be some comfort for their family BlueBelle that they went together and had said that was what they wanted.

Indeed smileless and it may not be tragic
