Pals have paid tribute to Steph's Packed Lunch star Dale Bowes who has died after terminal cancer battle. Dale appeared on the Channel 4 show hosted by Steph McGovern in 2023 as a 'Lunchmate' and had been suffering from incurable synovial sarcoma since 2021.

Amongst those paying tributes to Dale on social media was Talk TV's Gavin Wilson who wrote: "RIP Mr Dale Bowes. A much loved Lunchmate of our @stephlunch @packedlunch family!" In March 2024, a GoFundMePage was created to raise money for Dale’s funeral as his health took a turn for the worse. "In March 2024, we got the news we had been dreading.There were no more treatment options for Dale as he had become too unwell.

Dale was transferred to the care of St Gemma’s Hospice and returned home.” The post continued to say: "Within a week, Dale was placed on an oxygen machine at home.

Dale continued to get worse until he was admitted into St Gemma’s Hospice on the 25th of March 2024 for end-of-life care. Dale continued to fight despite all of the odds and is an inspiration to us all." During one of Dale's appearances on Steph's Packed Lunch, he spoke about his opinions on assisted dying.
