Di Kershaw, a beloved member of the Australian reality television show Gogglebox Australia, recently passed away.
Gogglebox Australia is the Australian adaptation of the British series with the same name. The concept of Gogglebox is deceptively simple: it is about a cross-section of modern Australian families commenting on the week’s popular television shows and films in their homes.
Due to such a simple concept, personality had a lot to do with whether the show would be a success or not, and Di Kershaw brought character in spades. When she and her husband Mick joined the show in 2015, Di popped on the camera, and she immediately became a fan favorite.
She and Mick were introduced as indigenous art dealers who had been married for nearly 50 years. They lived in inner-city Sydney.
Di is survived by her husband Mick, her two children, Victoria and Alex, and her young grandson Harvey.
Rip: What Happened To Gogglebox Australia Star Di Kershaw? Death Cause
Di Kershaw died at76 because of an inoperable tumor in her throat.
Di had initially felt unwell a few months ago, and her husband Mick took her to the doctor. After many tests and specialists, they discovered a tumor in her throat.
Unfortunately, they found that the tumor in her throat was inoperable, so there was not much they could do for poor Di. Following this news, she decided it was best not to tell the public and spend quality time with her family.
According to various sources, Di was very sad the months before her death, and no doubt she must have been in a lot of pain. She spent a lot of time with her family, though, which must have brought her some joy.
Following the news of her death, fans flooded social media sharing what they loved about Di’s presence on Gogglebox Australia. Her blunt views on reality television, dry wit, and trademark use of the word baby were much lauded.
Twitter is filled with quotes, pictures, and gifs celebrating Di’s vibrant personality and energy. She is dearly missed the world over.
Gogglebox Australia Star Di Kershaw’s Husband Mick And Family
Di Kershaw was married to Mick Kershaw and had been together for over fifty years.
The couple first met at a pub when Di was 17 and Mick was 20. According to Di, their courtship wasn’t like a reality show and was much more subdued.
Instead of fancy dinners and drinking cocktails at a bar, she described the courtship as hanging out as a group and drinking rum and Coke. Although she said it was very unsophisticated, she loved it.
The two had been together for five years, and then Mick proposed. Before being an art dealer, Di was a model in her twenties; however, her love lay in art dealerships.
She even convinced her husband to give up his high-flying career as an advertising executive to follow their passion for art and art dealership. This decision proved successful as they spent almost half a century doing just that.
The couple ran an Aboriginal art gallery and dealership for over three decades. Her long career in the industry was celebrated when Di was awarded the Order of Australia Medal in 2020 due to her service to the visual arts.
Of their two children, son Alex married in 2018. Their daughter, Victoria, is also married and has a son named Harvey, who Di loved.
