Simon Moores, the brother-in-law of Great British Bake Off star Paul Hollywood, was reportedly killed when his light aircraft went down near Errezil, in northern Spain. The Sun said the 62-year-old - the sibling of the star’s former wife Alexandra Hollywood - died after the plane is said to have got caught up in “thick fog”. The father-of-two from Kent is believed to have been travelling in a Piper Arrow III from the Portuguese town of Cascais to San Sebastian. It is stated that it crashed into Mount Hernio around 2pm, and a second British pilot also died.
Just hours before the tragedy, Simon had shared various updates on his trip in view of his 2,141 Twitter followers.
“Dawn’s early light - apparently Biarritz make it very difficult to refuel so go to San Sebastián instead,”(sic) he started.
The plane could be seen in the corner of the accompanying photo while various others were pictured on the tarmac nearby.
