Tom Kerridge

AIBU to think he's bloody sexy? He's lovely looking and seems to be so nice personality wise too. He can cook! He's certainly making my Sunday afternoon nicer.

Tom Kerridge isn't skinny, yes he's lost tonnes of weight and he's much slimmer but he's not skinny. Bloody awful word if you ask me, skinny just makes me think of skin and bone, much prefer the word slim.

@Helen483 , you're welcome. I don't fancy him either.

@MoistVonL , I think Jay Rayner would be good company.

He’s old enough to be my dad 🤣

Just googled it. Matt Tebutt is the same age as Tom Kerridge (51) ... so they're both old enough to be your dad😁.

However, I'm clearly much older than you and they could both be in the running as far as I'm concerned 🤣🤣🤣.

@Helen483 , TK is skinny. He used to be fat but that was years ago.

Wow! I see what the op means now (having looked at the "after diet" pics online).

Thanks for the heads up (still don't fancy him though) 😁.

A "soft" YABU. I don't find Tom Kerridge even remotely sexy. I mean, he's beyond obese!
And I think that warm persona he puts across (eg on GBM) is for the telly. Watch the way other people act around him. I think he's capable of being very demanding and getting cross very quickly if things aren't the way he wants.

I’m struggling to think of a TV chef I find in any way attractive.

How about Matt Tebutt, I think he's attractive and genuinely does seem to be a nice guy (easy to be around)

Cookery programmes all over the weekend. Inane garbage. I want the Banana Splits back!

nope
overweight alcoholics do nought for me

Ooooo harsh 🙈

MoistVonL · 22/04/2025 01:10

Jesus, not at all! Nor James Martin. Nor Gordon or Marco, who are too full of themselves.

Raymond Blanc and Michel Roux Jr are both incredibly attractive (especially Michel). Monica is definitely hot. I can’t find Angela Hartnett hot as I’m too busy worshipping the water she walks on. Marcus Wareing is good looking but he’s not the sharpest tool in the box.

Locatelli is pretty attractive but if I were choosing a big shaggy dark haired bloke I’d go for Jay Rayner over him.

Of the young chefs, Tommy Banks is lovely. If I weren’t so damned old, I would.
Michael O’Hare is a self-involved wanker.

@OnTheBoardwalk they know best - so arrogant

In his restaurant (now closed down) I wanted steak but with mash (on menu) not his 'signature chips' I have very bad food intolerance to chips cooked in beef fat, it makes me violently ill

i was told I couldn’t change the chips, even though I was paying £60 for this meal, as it was an intolerance not an allergy. After asking to speak to a manager, not like me at all, I was told the same thing

i was with a group of people or I would have walked out, I then told them it was an allergy and begrudgingly got my mash. Awful restaurant

Defo not for me since he and his mates ganged up on an amateur blogger who gave a negative review of a restaurant - it became a real pile on. Called the blogger the c word etc. Pretty nasty

Yes I remember that it was exceptionally bullying their little egos were dented there are male egos and then there are male chef egos. On his show about his pub he says ‘it’s nice to think we know things that most people don’t know’ like he’s some sort of stem cell research prodigy rather than a chef

I’m very funny about accents, can’t take his seriously and I don’t think he’s physically attractive.

I’ve heard, from a former employee, that Huge Filthy WhatsHisChops prefers the (much) younger ladies - sorry to spoil anyone’s fantasies.

There is a picture of DD1 on her insta with Rick Stein. Hadn’t got a clue who he was, she’d just popped along to see what all the fuss was about.

DH had a cuddle and a photo op with Tom Kerridge during a schmoozing event he was invited to at the rugby in an executive box. He confirms that the food was very nice, but don’t think TK did it for him. 😂

Marcus Wareing - I would, any day. Monica too

@Biffbaff i have just heard him say Mary Rose sauce - like the sunken ship 🤣

ThatFirmPearlPlayer · 21/04/2025 10:34

I never thought he was attractive but he seemed nice when I first noticed him on TV.

As time's gone on he's come across as a bit of a cock.
