Masterchef contestant Matt Campbell dies after collapsing while running London Marathon

Former Masterchef: The Professionals contestant Matt Campbell has passed away after collapsing during the London Marathon over the weekend.

According to an official statement from the London Marathon, the 29-year-old  professional chef collapsed around the 36.2km mark (out of 42 km for the full marathon).

“Matt was a well-known chef who featured in Masterchef: The Professionals last year, inspiring viewers with his Nutritional Gastronomy movement and forward-thinking ideas. He was running for The Brathay Trust and in memory of his father, Martin, who died in the summer of 2016,” the statement read.

The sporting event included 40,000 participants and was hottest on record with temperatures reaching around 23 degrees, according to reports by the BBC.

Campbell shared a number of posts on social media in the lead up to the huge race, proudly posting a snap of his running wear and letting fans know that it was his second marathon in two weeks, having previously participated in the Manchester Marathon on earlier this month  April 8.

2:56:50 New P.B. 😆 - Amazing day @manchestermarathon perfect conditions, great support. Thank you SO much to everyone who has sponsored me, my dad and @brathaychallenges 🙌 - I felt like running sub 3 was over ambitious particularly with how much has been going on this year so far. I am loving life right now, saying yes to every challenge. Thank you to my friends and family for always supporting me and giving me the confidence to just go for it. 😘 - Running has been amazing for me over the past 2 years, considering I only ran my first marathon 20 months ago, it's helped me through grief, helped me de-stress, helped me process information after a long day and helped me menu plan! To anybody considering even entering a 5K this year I say go for it. Life happens outdoors. ✌️ - Onto @londonmarathon in 2 weeks time! 👊 - #lifehappensoutdoors #marathon #manchestermarathon #raceday #manchestermarathon2018 #teamcameradude #chefswhorun #feedbelliesnotbins #mattsoire #marathonday #manchestermarathon #nutritionalgastronomy #running #runningchef #asicsgelnimbus #nikerunclub #sponsormeplease #brathay #brathaytrust #lakesistricttrained #🏃‍♂️

Matt rose to fame after he competed on the cooking show in 2017.
