Russell Norman, who was a regular on the BBC One show, died in November last year and left his estate to his estranged wife, Jules Norman, whom he separated from before his death.
Russell Norman, the celebrated TV chef and restaurateur who appeared on Saturday Kitchen has reportedly left a fortune of £1.4 million to his family.
His estate, valued at £1,437,000, included both business interests and personal possessions. According to reports, his will, which was signed in 2013, directed that his assets should go to his wife Jules, whom he married in 2004 but was separated from at the time of his death, the Mirror reports. With an academic background in English and a brief stint as a civil servant, Russell made his mark in the culinary world when he co-founded the iconic Soho bar Polpo in 2009. His career flourished over the years, but tragedy struck when he was taken to hospital unconscious after an argument with his girlfriend in November 2023.
In a statement read by Coroner Katrina Hepburn, Russell's partner Dr Genevieve Verdigel, an art historian, described the harrowing moment she found him unconscious in the garden. She said: "I ran back inside to call 999. I was trying to do CPR. I was screaming and the people next door came round."
