The Location, Location, Location star took to Instagram to share the devastating news of his parents’ deaths, revealing that they were involved in a fatal car accident in which their vehicle toppled over a bridge and into a river.
In his heartfelt post, Phil expressed his overwhelming sadness and shock, but also found comfort in the fact that his parents, Anne and Richard, passed away together. With almost 60 years of marriage, Phil shared that his family believes their parents’ deaths were a good end because they were able to be together on the farm they loved so much.
The news of Phil’s tragic loss sparked an outpouring of support from well-wishers, including his co-star on Location, Location, Location, Kirstie Allsopp, who praised Phil’s loving and brave statement. TalkTV presenter Piers Morgan and adventurer Ben Fogle also expressed their condolences, while others in the entertainment industry, such as chef Phil Vickery and This Morning presenter Craig Doyle, sent their thoughts and prayers to Phil and his family.
Phil recounted how his brother used a penknife to cut their parents’ seatbelts in an attempt to rescue them from the river, but unfortunately, they never regained consciousness. He reflected on how the worsening conditions of his parents’ health, with his mother battling Parkinson’s disease and his father suffering from dementia, meant that the future would have posed many challenges. However, Phil found solace in the fact that they passed away together, as his mother had expressed her belief that they would likely go together just a week before the accident.
Kirstie also paid tribute to Phil’s parents on her Instagram, highlighting their love for farming, animals, and devotion to their children and grandchildren. She mentioned that the only consolation in their tragic loss is that they died together, sparing them from having to mourn the loss of one another.
