1 / 2
Marco Pierre White, the 64-year-old culinary icon, has reignited his long-running feud with Jamie Oliver. As he promotes Gordon Ramsay’s new BBC documentary, Rise Of The Rockstar Chef, Marco boasted about getting Jamie axed from the series due to his lack of Michelin stars. Speaking to Radio Times and the Spooning with Mark Wogan podcast, Marco stated, 'How many stars did Jamie Oliver win? He's not part of our jigsaw.' The feud, dating back to 2007, saw Marco refuse to join the show unless Jamie was dropped. Meanwhile, a historic reunion with Gordon Ramsay and Heston Blumenthal forms the climax of the series, promising drama after their infamous 2003 Fat Duck incident [1].
