Hell’s Kitchen 2009: Starring Anthea Turner, Danielle Bux, Ms Dynamite, Adrian Edmondson, Bruce Grobbelaar, Grant Bovey, Jody Latham & Linda Evans
Marco Pierre White is back in the kitchen as a group of unsuspecting celebrities prepare to face a journey into hell as they attempt to feed a restaurant packed full of discerning diners each night.
The celebrities will leave their star status firmly at the kitchen door as Marco puts them to the ultimate test. They will learn how to cook a menu of classic dishes inspired by food Marco likes to eat and will have to live up to his exacting standards.
Claudia Winkleman will host the live show nightly from the Hell’s Kitchen restaurant in East London when it returns for its fourth series on Monday April 13.
The celebrities taking part in the show are: TV presenter Anthea Turner; model Danielle Bux; singer Ms Dynamite; actor and comedian Adrian Edmondson; former Liverpool goalie Bruce Grobbelaar; Entrepreneur Grant Bovey; actor Jody Latham and actress Linda Evans.
Marco, dubbed the godfather of British cuisine, will attempt to work his magic on the rookie chefs as they have just two weeks to learn how to dish up a feast fit for showbiz royalty.
He will push them to their limits to achieve perfection and crank up the heat to ensure every diner is fed.
This time there will be no room for error as Marco will have the power to sack the celebrities who he thinks aren’t up to the job. When it comes to choosing the series winner, the power will be back in the hands of the viewers who will vote for their favourite.
And, for the first time on Hell’s Kitchen, each night the two trainee chefs who have failed to impress Marco will feel the heat as he banishes them into the restaurant to wait on tables. Each guest waiter will be responsible for serving half the restaurant under the direction of maitre d’ Nick Munier.
They will have to take all orders and deliver food to the tables, plus they will be responsible for dishing out the desserts from the trolley.
It’s every cook for themselves as they work in just one team to impress both Marco and the customers.
And with just one kitchen there will be nowhere to hide for the rookie chefs.
Plus Marco will be inviting celebrity chefs including his friends Jean Christophe Novelli and Mario Batali to Hell’s Kitchen where they will put the trainees through their paces in a set of unique challenges.

Bloody hell – how skint are Anthea Turner and her husband that they’re both on this “celeb” show? Especially given they’re only supposed to be earning £8000 each this year… As for the rest of them – what a joke! Celebrities? I don’t think so!
I totally agree with that Lois,
it really must be ‘desperate’ times for Anthea.
Give us some real celebrities!!!!!!!! please.
There is only 2 true stars in this show and that’s Marco & Linda Evans, the rest of them are lame & desperate with no personalities. As for the show, it is badly produced and terribly boring. Oh dear, bring back Angus D please, what is Cladia on?
IN REFUSING TO ACCEPT JODY’S APOLOGY ANTHEA TURNER AND GRANT BOVEY SHOWED THEMSELVES AS A PAIR OF SELF RIGHTEOUS ODIOUS PRIGS. YOU DON’T GET YOUNG PEOPLE TO ACT PROPERLY BY BELITTLING THEIR EFFORTS. CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT, STANDING THERE WITH HER SCRUFFY HAIR, ROOTS SHOWING, SHE HAD THE GALL TO TELL OF SOMEONE FOR BEING A SLACKER. WASN’T THIS THE PERSON WHO CAUSED UNTOLD UNHAPPINESS TO A FAMILY WHEN SHE RAN OFF WITH THE SMUG, SELF SATISFIED HUSBAND. I HOPE THEY GET NOWHERE WITH THEIR EFFORTS TO MAKE A LIVING ON T.V.
I couldn’t agree more with Wendy. If trying to steal someone’s husband was all it took to be on TV, (because that appears to be the only thing she can do), then there would be an awful lot of presenters, and probably most of them better.
I think we all think Anthea is a silly cow, and that is putting it mildly! (And anyone who marries her must be missing something).
i like danielle and niomi , lindas sweet too and anthea is soo pretty.
i im not keen on aid but i laughed at his impression of marco haha !
I HATE CLAUDIA WINKLEMAN
Claudia has that certain knack of irritating me mostly because of her silly fringe stuck on her eye lashes as she blinks frantically trying to see what she’s doing. There’s no doubt she wouldn’t have a media career if her parents hadn’t been so influential. Personality – nil. Dress sense – abyssmal.
What a shame Bruce Grobbelaar decided to walk so early, I feel sure he could have quite easily won the competition? The one who clearly should have gone without any doubt is Naomi MacLean-Daley (aka Ms Dynamite) what a big girl’s blouse she is; and why does she persist in speaking in that unintelligible dialect of hers, it’s not an accent that I can recognise . . . I assume she can speak English properly? The one to watch in my view is Adrian Edmondson, a real class act, immensely funny, with exactly the right style and attitude for the show and a grafter to boot.
