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.

“I jumped over the fence as I needed to be alone.

“I wasn’t running way. I had every intention of coming back.”

He added: “I want Niomi or Danielle to win because they’re the only two worth watching.

“If they’re sacked I’ll switch off.”

He said of Anthea and her husband Grant Bovey: “They’re playing a game to win. They’re not popular with the public.”

On Ade Edmondson he said: “He isn’t a comedian. He’s someone who is funny occasionally.”

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.
