‘Marco Pierre White doesn’t like me at all’: Jamie Oliver on longstanding feud with TV chef Pierre White referred to TV chef as a ‘fat chef with a drum kit’ in 2007.
White first called Oliver a “fat chef with a drum kit” in an interview with The Sun in 2007, before hitting out at him again for being “delusional” and refusing to admit he had “f***ed up” after his restaurant failed following Brexit in 2019.
“When I was a very young chef, the industry was quite dark and boring, and it felt like from a different era and he came along, and he was incredible, and his sort of energy and attitude was so cool, he was my hero, for sure,” he explained.
Oliver, who has had his fair share of run-ins with famous chefs including Gordon Ramsay, chose to take the high-ground as he praised Pierre White for his contributions to the industry.
Jamie Oliver has admitted that his hero, Marco Pierre White, still seriously dislikes him.
