Clarissa Dickson Wright has died in Edinburgh aged 66.
One half of TV cookery duo Two Fat Ladies with the late Jennifer Paterson, she started her career as a barrister, and filmed four series of the BBC Two programme before Paterson’s death in 1999.
“Loved dearly by her friends and many fans all over the world, Clarissa was utterly non-PC and fought for what she believed in, always, with no thought to her own personal cost,” said agent Heather Holden-Brown.
She and Paterson were brought together for Two Fat Ladies in 1996, during which they were often seen travelling the UK together in their motorbike and sidecar in search of good British grub.
