Jim is such a prat. What do the teams really matter? It won't stop someone being voted off? The team bit is just a way of dividing them, to make the show a bit more interesting.

Hell's Kitchen: It's burns night!


Hell's Kitchen contestant Barry McGuigan was left reeling on Friday after burning himself on a hot pan.

The accident happened while the former boxer's family were dining in the restaurant, and was described by McGuigan as "the worst pain I have ever felt".

"I am a 46-year-old who spent 22 years as a fighter and I have suffered concussion, broken ribs and a broken hand," he said later.

"But this was the worst pain ever. My hand felt like it stuck to the saucepan."

Abbey, Kelly, Jim and Paul also suffered burns during their hectic evening in the kitchen.

McGuigan remains second favourite to win the show, with Brian Dowling the favourite. Another celebrity will be send packing on Saturday evening.

Chef In Hot Water Over TV Race Slur

Hot-headed chef Marco Pierre White has been accused of racism after making a slur about travellers on ITV show Hell's Kitchen.

The Commission for Racial Equality criticised the fiery cook after he used the word "pikey" on air.

Viewers complained after watching him say: "I don't think it was a pikey's picnic tonight."

His use of the derogatory word for travellers sparked a row with ex-Blue star turned trainee chef Lee Ryan, 24.

Ryan told the quick-tempered cook: "I have a lot of friends who are travellers... and I know they don't like being called pikeys."

Pierre White asked him: "What is wrong with being a pikey?"

Ryan replied: "Just the term pikey. It's not a nice word to say.


"I know my friends don't like being called pikeys. It's a derogatory term to a traveller or gypsy roamers."

A spokesman for race equality watchdog the Commission for Racial Equality (CRE) said: "These distasteful comments are highly derogatory and have caused much offence."

An ITV spokeswoman said the broadcaster had received complaints.

She said: "Last night's programme featured the use of the word 'pikey'.

"Whilst there appear to be several meanings of the word, we accept that one meaning is a derogatory racial term and that it has the potential to offend viewers." Sky

brian is utterly pathetic. he's so putting on the victim for the cameras and his look of hatred at jim just showed how unpleasant he really is

I don't see it the same way at all hippo, apart from the first bit. I see it as

Jim making an arse and trying to grab screen time.

Abi hitting the nail on the head, Jim is a tw*t.

Barry being a genuinely nice guy and astute too, just like Abi, he knew Jim wouldn't go and can see both sides.

Brian being vulnerable.

Hippo repeating himself lol

HELL? IT'S HEAVEN!


After 9,000 weeks of Big Brother dross, Hell's Kitchen has come along with the perfect reality show recipe.

A clever sprinkling of celebrities, an interesting mix of personalities and more exaggerations than Ben Shephard on happy pills.

The restaurant is "the home of the rich and famous" and "A-list celebrities"... apparently.

Kenzie? Antony Costa? Christine Hamilton? About as A-list as my little toe.

But it is still good entertainment, contained within a short, sharp, two-week blast -- BB take note.

While the grand dame of the kitchen Marco Pierre White seemed somewhat contrived, he is warming up into a great addition.



He lacks Gordon Ramsay's foul mouth and boyish charm but his brooding arrogance is priceless (something not unnoticed by Anneka Rice who has come over all unnecessary - enough to put you off your chocolate souffle).

"Success has many fathers and I am, maybe, the grandfather within that kitchen. Failure only has one."

Who speaks like that?

Marco doesn't swear, looks like maybe he doesn't wash, and is over the top. But his control over the kitchen is second to none and the celebrities are in real awe.

"I'm like a bingo caller." That makes Kelly LeBrock and Brian Dowling two fat ladies and Abbey Clancy legs eleven.

Lee Ryan has already walked after loser Jim Davidson got gobby (no change there then) and Marco branded a customer a pikey. "He was upset that he called me a **** and told me to **** off," moaned Jim. "But then every one does." Time to take the hint, mate.

It's a shame. Lee was set to provide some comedy gems. "I like fish because fish go on a journey. Especially salmon. It goes up stream. Do you know how difficult that is?"

No, Lee. Do you?

Adele Silva has the kind of face that looks like it's had a good battering (or needs one).

Paul "Mute" Young and Barry McGuigan have yet to stir up much fun and are unlikely to. And Rosie Boycott has been sent packing. (Oh what a tragic loss. Not). Only two major gripes. Angus Deayton. He is unfunny, selfabsorbed and needs his head firmly yanking back out of his own backside.

And Jim "I'm The Captain" Davidson's open homophobia to Brian Dowling (who talks like a 12-year-old - too long on kids telly?) Comic(ally challenged) Jim suggested Brian was put on pastry duty because he was gay.

If racism isn't allowed, this bullying shouldn't be, either. But moans aside, Hell's Kitchen has got it licked.

Hell's Kitchen - Brian Dowling and Jim Davidson's frank chat

On Wednesday night as Jim Davidson, Brian Dowling and Paul made the most of a tranquil, post-service moment in the celebrities' garden, Brian Dowling approached Jim Davidson with something that had been troubling him of late.

"I've actually got to ask a question and I'm hoping you don't find it rude," he began.

I think this is the first time I have ever felt envious of Jim Davidson. I want to be spoon fed by Marco.

marco and jim are so in love

brian still being a bitch

I really like Adele. And actually most of them I like. I'm kinda indifferent to Paul Young and Kelly but this could be just because they don't show much of them. And even though I think Jim is a complete prat I do kinda feel sorry for him. I think he's a bit of a lost soul and knows how disliked he is, though he really doesn't do himself any favours.

Jim and Marco are two peas in a pod, both as arrogant as each other and both have gone through a personality bypass in their quest for fame.

This is what happens when the arrogant are encouraged to behave like the world owes them something.
Would any of you let Marco or Jim speak to you the way they do to the other people on the show.!?!

hev was quite right to tell that little bald midget where to go. he was only trying to get his bitchy little face on the telly, and it worked

I kinda see it as all part of the entertainment Madeline. The customers know what will happen if they complain for no reason and that particular customer was, as Hippo said, just trying to get a bit of TV time. Of course he wasn't treated in the way a complaining customer normally would be but then he didn't behave like a normal customer either. The correct thing to do would have been for him to call Nick over and express his complaint in a polite but firm manner, instead of going barging up to the hatch. And as for the celeb chefs, I think they know it's all part of the show. It would be very dull to watch if there wasn't the occasional skirmish and I believe Marco is a lot more measured than Gordon Ramsey ever was. I didn't watch it then, but a friend who did, said he used to swear and scream at people all the time and also that he wasn't anywhere near as supportive of the chefs as Marco is/

I would say however, that Marco has shown Jim a lot of favouritism and I'm not sure why this is. He did this right from the beginning and it showed all the more when he kicked Lee out for speaking to him about something he was unhappy about but yet, persuaded Jim, who winds everyone else up, to stay when he threatened to go. I think that Jim has only stayed in as he does have a fan base, whereas Kelly and Rosie wouldn't have any particular fan base. I see Paul going next, followed by Jim and so far either Brian, Barry or Adele to win.
