Anthea Turner broke down in tears last night as her busband, Grant Bovey got sacked from ITV’s Hell’s Kitchen.

Marco Pierre White sacked Grant after saying that he was not a team player and the kitchen was not big enough for two bosses.

Marco said: He added: “In service you preferred to sink than ask for help – you are not a team player, that’s what you’ve proven to me tonight. You’re a leader, you’re a boss – that kitchen is not big enough for two bosses. I am the boss of Hell’s Kitchen.”

Grant said afterwards: “I’m obviously disappointed… I thought things were going remarkably well.” Speaking about who he’d like to win, he said: “Clearly I’d like Anthea to do very w

Hell’s Kitchen stirred up some powerful emotions in the men last night, as Grant Bovey and Bruce Grobbelaar broke down in tears.

The team were asked to re-create a dish from their childhood that would tell him something about how they grew up. Grant found it hard as he lost both his parents at a young age and finds it difficult to talk about, or remember them.

‘I just find it quite difficult to talk about my Mum and Dad because in the big stuff that’s happened to me in my life, they haven’t been here and I’ve really missed them,’ he explained.

Jody Latham got sacked from Hell’s Kitchen last night after receiving a 24 hour reprieve the previous day.

Jody seemed surprised by the decision which is strange considering that just before he was sacked he exited the building over a security fence!

He said last night: “Marco said he was like me when he was younger and we had private words which really hit home and I just had to get away,

“I am an emotional person and ruled by my heart.

Hell’s Kitchen presenter Claudia Winkleman has revealed that she has some less than platonic feelings towards show chef Marco Pierre White.

In an interview with Celebs On Sunday Claudia admitted:

“I wasn’t sure how I was going to react when I first met him. I thought I might end up putting my hair in bunches, and scratching myself – that’s when you can tell I really like a boy, I start twiddling my hair, and I do it with him, I think. He’s so tall and strong and I come up to his knees, but occasionally he’ll look down and smile at me.”

Gary Lineker met the wrath of Marco Pierrre White when he tried to sneak into his kitchen and sneak a kiss to his fiance Danielle Bux.

As soon as Marco spotted Gary, he sent him packing, saying: “Remember Gary we’ve got a job to do. I’m just asking you to respect our job.”

However Gary is now worried that Marco has an ulterior motive where Danielle is concerned.

It appears that Gary Lineker is keeping a close eye on Marco Pierre White as he reckons the fiery chef may have “taken a shine” to his fiancé Danielle Bux, who’s one of the competitors in Hell’s Kitchen.

His fears weren’t allayed when he nipped into Marco’s kitchen to offer model Danielle a little moral support but was promply ordered out by Marco who told him to respect that Danielle “has a job to do”.

Gary did however manage to steal a quick kiss from Danielle before heading back to his table in the restaurant but he later said he feared the “grumpy” MPW had “an ulterior motive” for ordering him out of the kitchen… Read more & comment »

Anthea Turner’s husband Grant Bovey – who won praise from fearsome chef Marco Pierre White for his fish dish in the first show – has apparently been trying to earn extra brownie points by staying behind to do the washing up.

The Press Association reports that of the eight contestants, only three stayed behind after service to tidy up, and Grant’s wife Anthea wasn’t one of them. Grant said,

“When service finished three of us stayed behind to clear up” adding,

“The end of service came and there was such a relief that five people thought it was appropriate to down tools and go back to their quarters … something told me that Marco would be annoyed if you left your station like that.”

Wow, I wonder if Anthea’s back hurt his knife?? Read more & comment »

Hell’s Kitchen chef, Marco Pierre White, has opened up about his well documented feud with former show presenter Angus Deayton.

Deayton was sacked from the show just last month after Pierre White refused to work with him any longer. White told the News Of The World: “His humour was forced, and negative. I would be working hard and he would be making jibes at where I came from and my name.

Deayton has been replaced by Claudia Winkleman.

Diners beware! Hell’s Kitchen chefs will be required to flambe for the first time ever on this years series, watch out those with bushy eyebrows!

Two chefs named the worst by Marco Pierre White will be made waiters and will have to set the desserts on fire.

An ITV source said that show bosses will have fire extinguishers on standby in case of accidents.

“If you’re in Marco’s bad books you’ll be in charge of the sweets trolley or cheese board,” the insider said.

“If they flambé the desserts well, they could be saved. But if someone loses an eyebrow, they’ll be for the chop.”

Another tricky dish that is going to be tackled will be steak tartare, which is made with raw beef.

Comedic actor Adrian Edmondson has admitted that he isn’t out to make people laugh on this years series of Hell’s Kitchen.

Adrian said: “I am not going on as a joker, I aim to have fun, I am kind of treating it quite lightly.”

He went on: “I don’t know if that’s the right way to do it, but this is my natural way and I don’t know what’s gonna happen if I get told off like a small child because I haven’t been told off like a small child since I was one. If they do that, if [host Marco Pierre White] gets a bit cross I don’t know, I don’t know how I will react until it happens.”

Speaking on ITV1’s This Morning, Marco denied that the set would be cheaper and ingredients of the value variety.
