A POPULAR Channel 4 star has blasted a group of "con artist" diners who fled his restaurant without paying a hefty bill. The cook, who stared in the documentary "The Rebel Chef: My Restaurant Revolution", shamed the arrogant customers online just two weeks after announcing that he was being forced to close down his restaurant.

Acclaimed chef Gary Usher fumed at the disgraceful "dine and dash" behaviour that left him almost £200 out of pocket. The alleged theft happened at this Wreckfish Bistro in Liverpool earlier this week, with staff sharing on social media that a group had lied their way out of a £180 bill.

They said the table ordered a buffet of expensive dishes before making an excuse about needing to go to a cash machine - but never coming back. The chef shared details of the incident with his followers, likening the dodgy diners to "con artists". In a post on X, he described the drama as "sh**", and said the group left his team feeling "stupid".

The team at Wreckfish said on X: "Table in for lunch today. Ordered most expensive things off the menu and quite a lot of extras. "Card doesn’t go through when paying so say they’re nipping the cash machine- never return. "Leaving a £180 bill unpaid, in January, which is already a crap month for businesses.".
