Giorgio Locatelli

You made him, you made fucking George, what's his name? J-

Giorgio Locatelli.

Giorgio Locatelli ate your food.

He went, "It's got a kick."

Yeah, but first of all, if you can't handle the heat, get out of the kitchen is what I say.

it was a hot utensil.

Giorgio Locatelli, actually, is the only one I felt some small nerves towards.

Really?

Something about the man.

I'm really anxious that they've cut me to be cheeky.

All I know, and I can talk about this because the episode's out, is at one point I give him the food and I give him burnt broccoli and Giorgio Locatelli, the Michelin star Italian chef, goes, he doesn't say it like that, he goes, this broccoli's burnt.

And I go, I've just made you food for free and you're whinging.

And we're on telly and you're whinging at me.

how did it go? Oh, I'm out.

I'm out within the hour.

The judge is Giorgio Locatelli and Grace Dent.

And I'm there with the gladiators.

He's held two Michelin stars, he has restaurants all over the world, but he is here to talk about a new gig that he's got as one of the faces of Celebrity MasterChef.

Will you please welcome Giorgio Locatelli.

Thank you.

What a great introduction.

But you describe yourself as the bad cop.

Yes, at the start especially, because at the start I felt a little bit like some of the people were there a bit like a joke.

And so I don't know if he's going to make it to the final cut, but I remember one day just really giving him a Giorgio Locatelli look and says, is this a joke for you? Because it's not a joke for me.

I can't wait to see who that

It was an amazing dinner.

It was my great friend, Giorgio Locatelli, who's...

Was he on the table as well?

Yeah, he's cooked.

...

Giorgio Locatelli.

Oh, really?

Really?

Yeah, Giorgio Locatelli.

He was a, yeah, he was, he was a sous chef when I was there.

Oh, hilarious.
