'Kitchen' chefs rated on egg dishes

The Hell's Kitchen celebrities had mixed fortunes when they were instructed to prepare a meal using eggs in just ten minutes.

Head chef Marco Pierre White warned the contestants that he would be using the egg dishes to make his first judgements about their personalities.

"The first thing I want you to do is something very simple. Before I can position you I need to know what you're up to, so I want you all to cook me an egg dish. Your choice; omelette, scrambled, poached, fried. You've got 10 minutes," Marco explained. "By the way you cook an egg I'll know who you are and what you are, trust me."

Big Brother 2 winner and TV presenter Brian Dowling failed to impress Marco with his attempt at making an omelette, which the chef compared to a pancake. He later complained about former Emmerdale actress Adele Silva's scrambled egg dish, but ex-Blue singer Lee Ryan received praise for his poached eggs.

Model Abbey Clancy was the most embarrassed when Marco pointed out that there were pieces of shell in her fried eggs.

"Look at the base of the egg. Do you like a bit of crunch with your egg?" Marco asked, before quipping: "Are you a member of Densa?"

Speaking later in the confessional, Abbey admitted: "I wanted to cry then, because I was shocked and he was picking on me."

Hell's Kitchen airs at 9.00pm tonight on ITV1.
