Pierre White blasts 'fat chef' Oliver

Marco Pierre White has blasted rival television chef Jamie Oliver for merely being a "fat chef with a drum kit" after Oliver called him a "psychological bully".

The Naked Chef was heard criticising the Hell's Kitchen star during a radio interview, leading an unimpressed Marco to rant: "I'd rather be who I am than a fat chef with a drum kit. I'd like to see him call me a bully to my face.

"Go and win your first Michelin star, Jamie, and then I might take you seriously."

Marco, who became the world's youngest chef and Britain's first to win three Michelin stars aged 33, also blasted Oliver's campaign to make school dinners healthier - insisting that it was just a publicity stunt.

He told The Sun: "He turned up with a camera crew up at Downing Street with that petition with 350,000 signatures about school dinners. How cynical.

"It was just a cheap stunt to get publicity for himself."
