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,

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.”

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.”
