To want to cuddle Tom Kerridge

[CrepeFoofette]

Why?

1. He's big and gorgeous
2. He's a fab chef
3. He has dimples
4. He just seems SO SWEET

I want a cuddle!!!

swoon

I've secretly fancied Tom K for a long time now. He seems great fun. He's lost loads of weight recently --- wonder if BBC is trying to mould him into the next hearthrob chef and they're getting him whipped into shape?

Michel reminds me of a puppet, maybe a Tweenie or a Fraggle or something. Can't quite put my finger on it.

I thought Tom was great on Masterchef - the least like the stereotypical 2 star Michelin chef of all of them and a nice person. The one I can't stand is Tom Kitchen - he comes across as though he shouts and swears at his staff, although I don't know if he does

I used to think he was lovely, but after seeing his Twitter bullying of an amateur blogger, and then the Great British Menu a few weeks ago where he was downright belittling to the youngest chef, I've gone off him. He has a hitherto unsuspected nasty side :(

squoosh I haven't been able to take MW seriously since he was on Masterchef Professionals (I think it was) and referred to himself in the third person!! I think he's also trying too hard when he's being all cold and harsh. In other words, he's all yours!

Select La la la la I'm not listening

Marcus Waring has the cold dead eyes of a contract killer. Yuck. Agree the BBC were crazy to let Michel Roux Jr go

I did. In the kitchen at the HAF. He is lovely

Michel is my favourite though. If we ever manage to get a booking at Le Gavroche (like hens' teeth!), I will be beside myself and will shamelessly ask for an autograph and photo

Raymond Blanc Mmmmm

Marcus Wareing comes across a right pillock on the telly - so pompous. I do like Tom Kerridge - have his book, and though I've only attempted his lattice topped fish pie so far, I can confirm it is the best fish pie I've ever made.

Michel is slightly in love with himself too, but I forgive him. I dunno, perhaps all chefs are to an extent - must be hard to maintain a clear-eyed view of yourself when you're surrounded by fawning yes-people all the time.

cat Don't think I've ever been so envious before!! . Was it the best cuddle in the world...?

Crepe

He seemed like a lovely chap and very cuddly. We had our photo taken with him in the kitchen. He was very friendly and chatty, recommending other places we should visit (we were on holiday and were spending the next day in London) and was full of praise for Marlow.

It did make a nice change on Masterchef to have someone who was totally supportive and wasn't hanging over the contestants trying to ramp up the tension about whether they'd get everything done on time.

I KNEW he'd be a cuddler! sigh

Tom Kerridge came across last year on the Great British Menu as quite arrogant and amazed if others got better scores than him. Plus there was the twitter incident. Has soured my opinion of him somewhat. His food looks lovely though understatement

I like Wareing too. No smoke and guises there. I like the mean glint in his eye

I couldn't disagree more about Marcus Wareing! It's all an act. He's just moody for moodys sake and takes himself waaaaaaay too seriously!

I think Tom Kerridge was particularly lovely to the MC contestants this week but like others I've read his part in the twitter spat and he will have a lot of making up to do to make me love him again. I am a sucker for a West Country accent though.

Marcus Wareing should probably try to remove the deconstructed Foie gras 3 ways terrine with toasted brioche starter from his arse. He'd have a huge following then.

But, the really important issue that everyone seems to have missed is that Michel Roux Snr is the foxy one. He looks very naughty AND he has a French accent rubs thighs like a dirty old letch

Marcus Waring has lovely eyes but he was really vindictive giving that chef a 2 in Great British Menu last year or the year before. I thought it was a cheap trick

Raymond Blanc's chummy'ness is SO fake. I love watching him work with his staff. He is trying to be all matey but they seem terrified (could just be because they are on TV)

Michel Roux Junior Seems a nice guy

Tom Kerridge is getting better on TV. He came across as very forced but again, I suppose that it's not easy to learn how to be yourself on TV. I can't believe that twitter spat is real! It was awful. Please tell me it was fake. I don't want to cuddle him.

I don't mind the shouty couple on masterchef - maybe I am just used to them but I love that show. No cuddles though.

I like Angela Hartnet - she is a really cool woman. I think I'll give her a cuddle.

Article with Wareing. Right at the end he says he'd do Masterchef: The Professionals. I'd watch it if he replaced Michel Roux

squoosh Marcus Wareing is slowly morphing into Noel Edmonds!

Not sure I trust your judgement that IABVU fancying Luke from masterchef now!

I am

calculatorsatdawn I have just had to waft smelling salts under my nose to revive myself after reading your shocking comment. The IDEA that I could ever fancy someone who resembles Noel bleedin' Edmonds is............

is the video of Marcus Wareing giving Johnny Mountain a score of 2 on The Great British a Menu. I thought Marcus was trying to humiliate Johnny Mountain as much as possible.

Do none of these chefs know the difference between your and you're?

Tom K is half the size he was, he's shrinking fast!

And I bet he's a proper dirty shag

I agree SpamTroll. Quite awful to watch actually. That triggered an awful period of depression for Johnnie Mountain too. I think that Marcus Wareing had a grudge or a score to settle. Very unprofessional.
