What is likely to have done it? No other kind of bush has suffered.

Gooseberry saw fly

Yes. You have about three days or a week at most between them hatching
an eating every last leaf off the plant. By now you should have been
able to harvest the crop so the critters are a bit late...

Mine annoyingly succumb to American gooseberry mildew these days which
is a pity because they are a good size old sweet dessert purple variety.
