Madonna's brother is to become a celebrity chef after impressing the makers of a TV cooking contest.

Christopher Ciccone critiqued contestants' dishes on US show Top Chef: Miami recently and his role is rumoured to be becoming more permanent.

Ciccone did not hold back in his comments, telling one entrant that his lamb "tasted like metal" before adding: "If that's a vegetable medley, I'm a monkey".

When asked about a possible position for the celebrity sibling, Bravo executive Andy Cohen told the New York Post gossip column Pagesix: "All will be revealed soon."

Madonna reportedly cut Christopher out of her life when he refused to join her in the study of Kabbalah.
