Jim Davidson says 'Kitchen' is like SAS

Jim Davidson has spoken out after deciding to quit celebrity cooking show Hell's Kitchen, apologising for his actions and describing it to be like "joining the SAS".

The comedian had been in a number of rows with fellow contestant Brian Dowling after he upset the former Big Brother star over a homosexual jibe.

The remarks forced Dowling to tears who described his words as "really rude", but on tonight's show Davidson walks out following the previous day's argument.

During an interview discussing his choice, the former Generation Game host explained: "We are all owning up really that I don't quite fit here. I'm a non-PC fossil really.

"I say the odd thing that seems to upset people without me realising it and then when I get a reaction from someone I feel sort of put upon myself and I overreact. The other people on the show will get more out of this than I will.

"But before I actually got to say, that I was asked to leave, because of saying racist, homophobic, sexist, nasty things. To be truthful, this is a young person's television. My day went out
with The Generation Game and television has moved on from there."

He continued: "I enjoyed the kitchen I didn't enjoy some of the company I was in and I was out of my depth. I wanted to do it because I wanted to be a cook, get paid, have a couple of days in England, I didn't realise it would be like joining the SAS every day."
