Hell’s Kitchen winner, Linda Evans has revealed that she turned down the chance to appear on ITV’s I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here.

Evans told The Mirror: “Working in a sweaty kitchen under pressure is one thing but slumming it in the Australian bush is quite another.

“Maybe I’d have done it when I was 25, but not now. I like my own space and at 66 I’ve had plenty of practice.”

She added: “Sharing a house with the others on Hell’s Kitchen was enough to get used to. Imagine having to do it in the jungle with the bugs in your bed.

“I’d much rather kill an eel than eat crocodile testicles. Not my cup of tea.”

Celebrity Masterchef winner Liz McClarnon has backed Ade Edmondson’s recent comments, that Hell’s Kitchen is less about food and more about entertainment.

Liz told What’s On TV: “I think in Hell’s Kitchen it’s more about TV than it is about cooking, it’s more about the drama and it’s a bit scary to be honest.”

She continued: “I am just more scared of Marco Pierre White – I think he’s a bit much. It’s less about impressing the chef with your all-around ability than it is like with MasterChef, which was more about food.”

Liz also revealed she is making a music comeback.

She said: “I have got a single coming out on May 18. It’s not my single – it’s for Global One which is a thing that’s going all around the world where we’re gonna release the same song in every country all at the same time and it’s gonna be in every language.

“I have recorded it in English for the English market, the Japanese market and also in French and Spanish.

“It’s called Lately and I think it sounds a bit like Whole Again.”

Hell’s Kitchen runner up, Ade Edmondson has said that Marco Pierre White is quitting the ITV show because it is more about entertainment than cooking.

Ade told The Sun: “He’s very intent on his cooking and the show’s not really about cooking, is it? I think he began to realise it’s more of an entertainment show and he’d like to concentrate on something more serious.”

I don’t know that ITV can find another chef to take over the show, who will do such a good job as White. He is tough without being cruel, and as Ade said during his interview he inspires instead of humiliating. Somehow I can’t see Jamie Oliver or Heston Blumenthal doing the job as well.

Linda Evans has just been crowned winner of this years Hell’s Kitchen series and if I’m honest I’m a bit gutted by the public’s choice. That’ll teach me for not voting!

I have championed Ade from day one as I love his sarcasm and sardonic wit. He won the final challenge tonight by a mile and received a diners verdict of 9 out of 10, practically a miracle by Hell’s Kitchen standards. Whilst Linda is lovely and impossible to dislike, Ade is a better cook, better chef and more focused when he needs to complete a task.

It could have been worse though…..it could have been Jody!

Hell’s Kitchen finalists Ade Edmondson and Linda Evans have been allowed to pick some of their former colleagues to return to the kitchen and help them out for the show’s final.

After last night’s ‘disastrous’ night in the kitchen, Linda and Ade each got to choose two celebrities to assist them in tonight’s show.

Ade picked Niomi McLean-Daley and Danielle Bux whilst Linda brought back Anthea Turner and Bruce Grobelaar.

But who will win? Personally I am backing funnyman Ade, who I just discovered today has been married to Jennifer Saunders since the 80’s. Who will you be rooting for tonight?

I am sad to say that Danielle Bux was the second celebrity to fall foul of the public vote on Hell’s Kitchen and left the show tonight.

Sad, because Danielle and Aide were my two favourite stars to win the show on Monday night and despite Danielle winning tonight’s challenge, it will be either Linda or Aide who walk away with the winners title.

So who will win the show on Monday night? I’m rooting for Aide but could see former Dynasty star Linda slip in under the radar.

Who are you backing to win?

Hell’s Kitchen reject Grant Bovey has questioned Marco Pierre White’s reasoning when he questioned Grant’s lack of humility in the kitchen.

Talking to Fern Britton and Phillip Schofield on This Morning, he said: “Marco was encouraging me to be the leader. He would say, ‘Grant, we need leadership in the kitchen, you carry on, you’re doing a sound job’ so I did carry on doing that…and clearly that led me to be sacked.”

He continued” “Marco is just very complicated. And as for me not showing any humility, I didn’t understand that remark at all. I was on the mash service for the first time and the service was two and half hours that night, which was twice as long as any other night we’d done, and we had a lot more people in.

“And yes, there was someone there to help me but I didn’t want to call upon Marco because I wanted to prove to Marco that I could do it on my own. And every portion of mash potato was delivered on time and hot and I did it myself. Yes, I made a mess doing it, but to me, making a mess wasn’t a problem.”

Former Star Boy Bruce Grobbelaar has walked off Hell’s Kitchen of his own accord.

It was painfully obvious that Marco Pierre White didn’t want him to go, actually I think Bruce could have won the whole show, but in the end Bruce decided that his wife needed him more than the cooking team and requested to leave the show.

“If I’m not the one sacked tonight I’d like to walk through the door,” he told Marco when the team were sat around the sacking table. “It’s not that I don’t want to stay here, but I feel that these people here deserve it more than I do…

“I realised with my wife sitting there, she needs me more than these people.”

Marco in the end responded saying:

“You walk out of Hell’s Kitchen a winner Bruce. It hurts me, it saddens me to see you go,” he sighed.

Bruce told Claudia:

“It’s been a pretty tough week with the 20 year Hillsborough anniversary,” he explained. “And with Marco telling us to make a dish from our childhood…

“For Marco to sack someone last night, I didn’t want that to happen. I wanted to give someone else a chance.”

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.

South African Bruce was moved to tears when talking about his decision to cook chicken feet saying:

‘When I cooked that dish this morning it was for the houseboy that brought me up with my mother, he was like a father to me.’

The choice of dish proved to be a huge success though when Marco Pierre White branded him star boy of the task and made him immune from evictions tonight.
