Marco Pierre White lashes out again (TV show coming up perhaps?)

Marco Pierre White The delightful Marco Pierre White has been at it again, lashing out at chef campaigners Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and Jamie Oliver ahead of his new TV show, Marco's Great British Feast.

White claimed Fearnley-Whittingstall's campaign against intensively farmed chickens was merely an attempt to "get a few column inches".

"I really object when I see certain individuals protesting against certain types of farming to get a few column inches," he said. "Certain people should get a life."

Turning to Jamie Oliver's much heralded attempts at overhauling the standards of school meals, White was once again dismissive.

"I think when you walk down Downing Street with a camera crew filming and another camera crew filming the camera crew, I think you have to question one's integrity here."

White's forum for this attack on those damaging their integrity for a bit of cheap publicity?

ITV's This Morning

Check out the video of White's grilling by Jeremy Pax.... no, sorry Philip Schofield.

Update: In last night's first episode, MPW visited a Highland cattle farm outside Inverness, where he asked the farmer for the name of the beast that was to be slaughtered for him.

"We used to call it Marco, but then we had to change it," said the farmer. When White asked why, the farmer explained "because it's got no balls". And what was it called now? Gordon. "Good Scottish name," chortled White.
