New Hell's Kitchen boss Marco Pierre White has admitted that he is already planning punishments for the show's contestants.

The fiery chef warned that any celebrities who break the rules will be treated like schoolchildren; he will force them to work next to him, where he can keep a close eye on their behaviour.

"When I was at school, the naughty boys had to sit at the headmaster's table at lunch," Marco told The Mirror. "It's a bit like that."

He added: "I won't be thinking of the trainees as celebrities. I want tears, I want laughter, I want to see people fight and I want to see people learn."
