I spend more time in the kitchen than I have in the dining room, for obvious reasons, however, I just want to sit and indulge.

Being on a soccer pitch is not the same as being in a kitchen when things are going wrong.

I like finding talent. That's what really turns me on, I suppose.

Having four kids of my own, fifth one on the way... I think with "Junior," what's happened over the last three years is this program's been implemented across schools.

What's frustrating more than anything is when chefs start to cut corners and believe that they are incognito in the way they send out appetizers, entrees, and they know it's not 100 percent, but they think the customers can't spot it.

There's a side to reality TV that is part education, as well. I've seen that since doing "MasterChef Junior," in terms of the effect it has on the confidence given these young kids from 8 to 13, a quality life skill. Even if they never pursue cooking as a job or a career, just learning how to cook for yourself sets you up in a good place.

I am a chef who happens to appear on the telly, that's it.
