Is Wozza in for an embarrassing law suit?

Antony Worrall ThompsonAll seems not well in celebrity chef land and our favourite Saturday morning host Antony Worrall Thompson could be in for an embarrassing legal battle from two disgruntled former employees.

The week started out so well for Wozza, who on Monday celebrated the reopening of his pub the Greyhound in Peppard, Oxfordshire, along with fellow Ready Steady Cook regular Ainsley Harriott.

So what went wrong?

According to The Independent, former employee Richard de Wet, who helped set up the Windsor Grill, claimed Wozzer owes him and his wife £5,000 of holiday pay after being made redundant. The restaurant was one of the casualties of AWT Restaurants' collapse into administration.

Wozza apparently reassured the couple hours before they were due to board a flight to Thailand that they were going to get all of their payments. But he never kept his promise.

"This isn't about bad-mouthing Antony," de Wet said.

"I had a good time with him and I learned a lot. However, I think what he is doing is totally wrong. He said he treated the business like a big family. I think he was taking the piss."

All that over £5,000? Come on Wozza, you can do better than that.
