The daughter of top Australian chef Bill Granger, who tragically died on Christmas Day, appears to be following in her dad’s footsteps.
The beloved restaurateur “died peacefully” aged 54 in a London hospital on Monday, with the shocking news of his death being shared by family on Instagram earlier today.
