ITV has cancelled Marco Pierre White’s ‘Hell’s Kitchen’ saying that making the show is too expensive. The surly chef will be back on our screens but in a slightly adapted show titled ‘Marco’s Kitchen Burnout.’
Burnout will be much cheaper to produce. No longer will the apprentice chefs live together, nor will ITV build their own restaurant. Instead they will use a real London eatery and according to The Sun, celebrity guests will have to pay for their food.

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.”
