A MasterChef semi-finalist has died after collapsing during the London Marathon, it has been confirmed.
Matt Campbell, 29, collapsed at the 22.5 mile mark and died later in hospital.
He appeared on the BBC's MasterChef: The Professionals in December 2017, and had been running the race - the hottest on record - for his father who died 18 months ago.
His social media posts said that it was his second marathon in a fortnight.
The Kendal chef was running the race for The Brathay Trust in honour of his father Martin.
Donations to his sponsorship fund have risen to more than £53,000 - far exceeding his original target of £2,500.
