on every bloody show, he makes a big deal of tasting whatever he's made and doing the bog sigh, the big eye roll, the shaking his fingers thing, he just makes me want to throw the telly at the wall

YANBU at all!

Sparklingbrook · 19/12/2017 20:30

I can't even watch.

Saying that though I am not a huge fan of watching people on the TV cook.
I am watching Jo Brand's cats and kittens.

HemanOrSheRa · 19/12/2017 20:31

I have no idea what he is cooking - I can't take my eyes off his hair Confused. Has he dyed it?

Sparklingbrook · 19/12/2017 20:32

But there's a cat stuck up a tree. Sad

EsmesRedPetticoat · 19/12/2017 20:32

YANBU! Sometimes he makes an “ugh” sound! It makes me cringe 😬

HemanOrSheRa · 19/12/2017 20:33

Gawd he's doing his blackened balsamic potatoes now. Wait for it....

RemainOptimistic · 19/12/2017 20:35

It's very sexual. I enjoy it. Definitely one of my most embarrassing celebrity crushes.

sausagerollsrock · 19/12/2017 20:37

Yanbu. I don't dislike him but find him so bloody irritating. Bet it tastes like shit really.

icelollycraving · 19/12/2017 20:38

I find him repulsive. I don't understand why he is cooking outside. Him spitting and frothing over messy looking dishes is making me s bit ragey.

sepsisandAKI · 19/12/2017 20:38

I was thinking the exact same thing. Jamified? He's just too enthusiastic..

ssd · 19/12/2017 20:38

sort yourself out remain

He does some of the best vegetarian recipes. But the whole having an orgasm over his own food is a bit much.

LineyRunner · 19/12/2017 20:43

His Comfort Food for the US market seems to have eschewed all his 'healthy eating' credentials. Is he all right? Broke?

BattleaxeGalactica · 19/12/2017 20:50

Anything Nigella does, Jamie does better (at least in his own heavily dyed head) Grin

I don't watch his programme but the tasting and shuddering with pleasure sounds ridiculous. One better than MIL though who used to pick up roast potatoes that didn't make it into the serving dish, lick her fingers and then pick up the next Shock

Also preferable to Marco Pierre White who I once saw on TV dripping sweat into a saucepan as he cooked

Iflsido · 19/12/2017 21:01

Watching it on catch up. His hair! What is that??

lastnamefirstfirstnamelast · 19/12/2017 21:04

I have always thought this.

His food cant taste that good surely? X

HemanOrSheRa · 19/12/2017 21:05

If Grin. I don't know!

MrTrebus · 19/12/2017 21:06

Bog sigh made me laugh. Like it's a sign reserved only for use in the toilet Grin if that food tastes anything like his restaurant food it'll be bland bland bland and over priced! Which is why 1 local to me has just had it's lease cancelled.

MrTrebus · 19/12/2017 21:06

*sigh sigh sigh

Tinycitrus · 19/12/2017 21:07

That was the most pretentious bollocks I have seen in a long time. I loved it.

notapizzaeater · 19/12/2017 21:08

His make ahead gravy and roasties are the BEST ever .....

BeerBaby · 19/12/2017 21:08

His food looks lovely but he drives me mad. I find him a bit creepy.

PurplePotatoes · 19/12/2017 21:09

First thing DH said was "what's gpong on with his hair?!" Grin I used to really like him but he seems really miserable and arrogant these days.

Lethaldrizzle · 19/12/2017 21:10

I'm sure I'd be making the same noises if i ate his food! Nothing wrong with a man being passionate about cooking
