I'm A Celeb chef sells up A restaurant in celebrity chef[url]John[/url] Burton Race's divorce row is to be sold by administrators amid £1.1million debts. The New Angel in Dartmouth, Devon, was shut and 20 staff sacked by wife Kim, 42, last month to help pay for their £3.6million divorce while Burton Race, 50, was on I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here. He left the mum of his two kids, who has four more from a previous marriage, for lover Susan Ward in March. Their £1.5million Georgian home nearby will also be sold. Mirror |

CELEBRITY CHEF'S VOW ON RESTAURANT Celebrity TV chef John Burton Race - whose closed down Michelin-star restaurant is being put up for sale by business administrators - could open up another eatery nearby. The New Angel in Dartmouth, Devon, is going on the market together with the upmarket six-bedroom Angel Rooms bed and breakfast business. Mr Burton Race, 50, is estranged from 42-year-old wife Kim, and is living in Strete, south Devon, with partner Suzi Ward, 40, and their two-year-old son. The chef said he had already turned down two offers for the restaurant, adding: "There are at least four more interested parties. One is a very well known celebrity chef, who has asked me to keep it confidential until his offer has been put on the table." He had not decided on one bidder's offer for him to stay on at the New Angel. The chef said said he wanted to stay in the area, and told the Torquay based Herald Express newspaper: "I can categorically say that I will open a place not too far away if I don't stay at the New Angel." The New Angel restaurant, bought by Mr Burton Race three years ago for £500,000, has total debts of over £1.1 million, said independent business rescue, recovery and restructuring specialist, Begbies Traynor, which has been called in to act as administrator. Mrs Burton Race closed the restaurant at the end of November, with the loss of 20 jobs - while her estranged husband was in the Australia jungle taking part in the TV reality show I'm A Celebrity .....Get Me Out of Here. While he was in Australia a notice appeared in the window saying: "It is with deep regret that the New Angel restaurant and rooms will cease trading." In March the chef, who starred in the television series French Leave and The Return of the Chef, left his wife and their six children. dailystar |
