Gary Lineker and Danielle Bux in the Kitchen

Marco Pierre White humiliates Gary Lineker

Thursday, 16 April 2009

Marco Pierre White humiliated Gary Lineker by refusing to let him speak to his fiance on 'Hell's Kitchen' last night (15.04.09).

The fiery chef was furious with the ex-footballer - whose fiance Danielle Bux is a contestant on the ITV reality cooking show - for approaching the kitchen, claiming he was distracting the celebrities.

As Gary walked up to the kitchen and reached to kiss Danielle, Marco fumed: "Remember Gary we've got a job to do!"

Gary explained he had been sent over to speak to Danielle, prompting a Marco to retort: "Don't fall into the trap Gary. I'm just asking you to respect our job, you would like to eat wouldn't you?"

Gary sloped away, but later sneaked back for a quick tryst with Danielle. He later admitted he was angry at the way he was spoken to.

He said: "He's grumpy. Danielle's next to Marco... again, which is slightly disconcerting. I saw in the first show he was there with her. Should I worry? He was also very keen to get me out of there rather quickly. Do you think there's an ulterior motive?"

Contestants Ade Edmondson and Linda Evans were forced to work as waiters during last night's show after Marco decided they were the weakest performers on opening night of the series on Monday (13.04.09).

A cocky Ade insisted his new role was easy, but blamed Maitre D' Nick Munier for problems in the restaurant.

He said: "It's not difficult being a waiter, it can be done by any life form with a bit of charm!

"Nick's not very good at training people. I don't know why Marco uses him actually. If I was Marco then I'd get a new Maitre D'! Poor Nick, he's a nice guy, he's just a bit ineffectual.

He added: "It's very odd working with Nick and Linda because the pair of them don't understand each other. Nick's French and can't speak English and Linda's American and can't really speak English!"
