The popular Sydneysider was the brains behind the Cook Suck Instagram and Twitter accounts, which boasts more than 40,000 followers and feature funny critiques of various food dishes.

He was also a guitarist in the Display Homes, a band he formed with his former housemates Steph King and Greg Clennar.

Mr Beveridge’s brother, former Big Brother contestant Michael, used Facebook to thank the many friends and fans “who made him so, so happy”.

“I’ve just lost my brother and my best friend,” he said.

“I don’t want to be writing this, I want to stay in bed and just try and stop feeling the hurt but these are the unbearable painful logistics of dealing with sudden death.

“I have no details yet of funeral arrangements. I will share them when I know more. It will be in Sydney.

“We’re going through a lot so I’m asking for some space and privacy. I love you Darrell – you’ve always been my hero.”

On Instagram, Ms King and Mr Clennar said they were heartbroken as they shared a photo of Mr Beveridge at their last show on June 11.

“The joy, or what he would call ‘hot sauce’, that he brought to our lives has left a massive hole in our hearts,” they wrote.

“After we finished our set, he said ‘that was f***** sick, I think that was the best show we have ever played’.”

On one of his favourite pubs Instagram accounts, a Crickets Arms Hotel spokesperson wrote that there would always be a seat and cold Reschs waiting for Mr Beveridge.
