What a terrible shame – Tommy Walsh, the British Eastend-born, Ground Force builder who made DIY must-watch television, has died aged 69. He helped many people with his DIY and garden excavation ideas. His agent said he passed away peacefully after a long illness and was surrounded by his family. His tips were so well-delivered, that we all felt like we could refurbish any home/development and he made no bones about the fact that his favourite tipple was Irish Cream liqueur. (So he was relatable on many levels!) This is very sad news indeed! Our thoughts and prayers are with Tommy Walsh’s family and friends at this terribly sad time. We will all miss him.
