Synopsis
Nine celebrities (and Edwina Currie) work as chefs under the watchful eye (and colourful mouth) of Gordon Ramsay at London's newest restaurant. After two weeks of intense training the celebs/chefs were made to work in the restaurant serving food (well, you could've fooled me...) to B-list celebs dining there.
As per usual in a reality series from ITV nothing happens in the first week, then one celeb gets kicked out each day in the second week until we have three left to contest the final showdown on the last day.
The celebs in the first series were (in reverse order): Roger Cook (journalist), Dwain Chambers (athlete), Tommy Vance (legendary DJ), Belinda Carlisle (musician), Amanda Barrie (actress), Abi Titmuss (presenter [that's being kind...]), Al Murray (comedian), Edwina Currie (former MP), Matt Goss (musician), James Dreyfus (actor) and Jennifer Ellison (actress and singer).
Key moments
