The new series of Hell's Kitchen began on ITV last night. Marco Pierre White seems much more on the side of the contestants than Gordon Ramsey ever did. Maybe he has less to prove. Maybe he has less of an inferiority complex.
The array of 'vaguely familiars' that make up the celebrity contestants on the show are eclectic, bordering on the bizarre. It comes to something when the biggest showbiz name that a show like this can muster is Jim Davidson. Still, there are a few amusing oddities. Journalist, Rosie Boycott is there. Presumably this is to help pay for her farm.
Remember Kelly LeBrock, star of dubious 80s film such as Woman In Red and Weird Science? The gal is back and is now doing her time in an apron as one of MPW’s heroes. She now looks rather old and rather flabby compared to her 'stealth-self' of twenty-something years ago. It's all comparative though. She looks in better shape than many people I know. The only difference being that they did not used to have a high profile career based on how they looked.
There may be a message hidden in all this. Spend your youth being a slob and then get healthy in middle age. Comparatively, you'll be seen as some kind of messiah.
