Jody Latham fired from 'Hell's Kitchen'
Monday, 20 April 2009
Jody Latham claims his fellow 'Hell's Kitchen' contestants were "scared" of him.
The former 'Shameless' star - who was dismissed from the celebrity cooking show by chef Marco Pierre White yesterday (19.04.09) - blamed his exit on clashes with fellow contestants, including Anthea Turner and Grant Bovey.

He said: "It's obvious they all feared me. I wouldn't say I was intimidating but they seem to think otherwise. I was just being myself. It's not my fault if people are afraid of me."
Jody - who infuriated Marco by serving food after the kitchen had closed and scaling a wall to escape the celebrities' living quarters - insists he doesn't care about being the first out of the show.
Jody continued: "I would probably have walked anyway. I always said I didn't want to win. I just went on the show to learn under the world's best chef.
"I was pretty much ready to go so Marco did me a favour I suppose. I don't think his decision was right, but I wasn't going to argue."
Jody, 27, has recently opened his own gastropub in his hometown of Barrowford, Lancashire - but won't be inviting any of the other celebrity chefs along.
He added: "I don't think I'll be inviting Grant and Anthea to the opening."
