SPIKY-haired chef Gary Rhodes has signed to take over from Gordon Ramsay in
Hell’s Kitchen.
Gary, 44, will join Jean Christophe Novelli, 42, to cook up a storm on the next ITV1 series.
This time viewers will be taught to cook instead of celebs. The punters will then serve to celebrity diners.
Gary was awarded his first prestigious Michelin star at just 26 and has since won four more.
He said: “I am incredibly passionate about cooking and expect everyone who works in my kitchen to give 200 per cent at all times.
“I won’t tolerate passengers or anyone whose sole aim is just to get their face on TV.”
Jean Christophe said: “For me food and cooking is an art, very creative and kind of sexy.
“For the trainees it’s a great chance to learn the passion of cooking.”
Fiery swearer Gordon has signed a golden handcuffs deal to stay with Channel 4.
Hell’s Kitchen will be screen live nightly on ITV from an exclusive London restaurant.
