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

He is repulsive. I have found (most of) my people.

Has anyone read this amusing review? Word of caution, it is from The Mirror .

Laiste · 20/12/2017 08:14

I wont watch him because he annoys me so much. I only get to hear about him by threads here.

In the last couple of days i've learned he's published pictures of his multi million pound house and - quelle surprise - he has a new series. The fucking mockney and poncing round the kitchen like a parody of himself posturing and squawking as if he thinks he's still coming over as a ''chirpy'' bloody 18 year old drives me utterly insane AngryHmm

No one on the telly winds me up as much (except Susanna Reid) It's giving me the rage just being on this thread! Aarrggh

HuskyMcClusky · 20/12/2017 08:16

What’s with the ‘everything from a height’ thing he does? Confused Olive oil, pepper, herbs, all thrown on from 2 feet up. Bizarre.

Alwaysinmyheart · 20/12/2017 08:18

Actually, I like him. I always want to cook after watching him. Tho I did have one of the worst meals ever at one of his restaurants! #conflicted. Xmas Grin

Sparklingbrook · 20/12/2017 08:19

I think Jools deserves a medal.

ExtraSpecial1 · 20/12/2017 08:26

In the early years he said he'd been hit in the mouth by a cricket ball....maybe one of his Botham Burgers? And that made him talk like that". Very fanciful story and now at least one of his kids has a lisp too.
Used to love him in the Naked Chef years but it's so overdone now it's inedible.
And the fake in jokes he has to wind Genaro up, make me want o fucking scream.

ExtraSpecial1 · 20/12/2017 08:28

SparklingBrook....think Jools deserves a medal.

No, at least it's not two homes ruined! God she's a mopey twat.

PasstheStarmix · 20/12/2017 08:30

The man is obsessed with clementines. What ever is wrong with oranges?

PasstheStarmix · 20/12/2017 08:30

And jools I don't understand that; he must be different behind closed doors

PasstheStarmix · 20/12/2017 08:33

Must just be in front of the camera where he's an absolute twat. I've heard that in his restaurants he automaticalky adds acouple hundred on your bill for unasked for personal appearances!! My friends had to complain as he literally walked out with somebody the chaperon said would you like to meet Jamie? He was there so to be polite they though yeah. Then money added on their bill without notification when they queried the charge his restaurant said it was for meeting Jamie Oliver!! What's a twat!!

PasstheStarmix · 20/12/2017 08:33

What

Sparklingbrook · 20/12/2017 08:34

While he is up a mountain messing about with posh cabbage and citrus fruit Jools is at home with the 5 children in the not v cosy mansion. And designing children's clothes presumably.

PasstheStarmix · 20/12/2017 08:38

Frying deconstructed sprout in the garden (yes we know sprouts are from outside Jamie you don't need to cook out there) considering he cooked the rest of the food indoors! He must have thought it was 'off the wall' to do that.

MissionItsPossible · 20/12/2017 10:07

I don't mind him. It's the other one I can't stand. With the curly black hair and he talks like Russel Brand. Can't bear him.

ginghamstarfish · 20/12/2017 11:43

Ooh yes I can't be doing with him, or anyTV cook for that matter, seems to be all about showing off with the drizzling from a great height and sticking chili in everything. However I do like Nigella - not the cooking but I have a little crush on her .

Sparklingbrook · 20/12/2017 11:47

I love Simon Rimmer on Sunday Brunch, he's chatting away to the guests while cooking. Much more interesting.

MumGoneMild · 20/12/2017 11:52

He said "shakey wakey woo woo" on Jamie's 15 minute meals years ago and I can't get past it

MrsJayy · 20/12/2017 11:55

Just put your foot through the telly less painful that having to watch his nonsense. That finger clicking bruv shite is embarassing.

Iooselipssinkships · 20/12/2017 12:06

Will never ever forgive him for getting turkey twizzlers banned. I'm still bitter. YANBU. He's a tosser.

PasstheStarmix · 20/12/2017 12:17

I'll never forget the story Jamie Oliver gave in an interview about how when he turned up at Richard and Judy's house with some other guests Richard wasn't happy he was there and called him an arrogant bastard or something along those lines. I had.a new found respect for Richard Madley!

aabidah86 · 20/12/2017 12:18

LOL this made me chuckle, the shaking the fingers thing haha you're so right!

OneFlewOverTheDodosNest · 20/12/2017 12:47

His hair has 100% been dyed hasn't it? I'm sure he used to be a lot blonder than that...

derxa · 20/12/2017 13:05

I like him. One Christmas Eve he turned up in our local Waitrose with two of his children. He was completely unstarry. The comments about his lisp are actually offensive.
