Noooo
I love the Hairy Bikers. They’ve always come across like decent blokes on their shows and their Insta Lives.

I'm surprised Gregg Wallace doesn't have a thread. This needs to be added to this one I guess.

My Saturday
The MasterChef presenter, 59, on ancient battles, belly bloat, fatherhood and early nights
5am I wake up at the same time every morning. I'll read for an hour - right now it's A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles - then I'll make myself a coffee and check emails. I'll also look at the sign-up numbers for my health programme on greggwallace.health.
7am I work out five days a week. I'm down at the gym half an hour before it opens. They let me in earlier, so I have a swim and sauna by myself. Then I'll review my to-do list while walking on a treadmill, no sweating. 1 aim for 50,000 steps a week I do about 7,000 a day. I'm now 12 stone [having lost five stone) and I have less than 18 per cent body fat and a six-pack, but I have a belly that bloats. I guess we all have our imperfections.
10.30am Meet my PA Helen at the local Harvester for breakfast -bacon, sausage and fried egg. Peo ple say to me, 'I didn't expect to see you in here. Look, they do grilled chicken, there's a salad bar, and I've never been disappointed. It's all about expectation when it comes to food. I've regularly been disap- pointed in three-star Michelin restaurants around Europe but never in a Harvester. I manage MasterChef filming, my well-being business and now there's also my new health and well-being podcast, A Piece of Cake. I love chatting to the experts, but I'm quite the expert too, having been journal- ling, manifesting, goal-setting and reading self-help books for years.
12pm Back home for lunch, which my wife Anna [Anne- Marie Sterpini] will have ready on the table. Her white bean soup with a crust of bread is a family favourite.
1.30pm I like to spend time with my four-year-old son, Sid, who's non- verbal autistic. He used to be in his own world but he's starting to seek company and show eye contact. We'll potter in the garden and play with our two dogs, Wally and Bella. I'm a much better father now I'm older, although another child isn't something that I would have chosen at my age. I was always very honest with Anna, but it's what she wanted and I love her. I just requested two things that we had help in the house (so her mum moved in), and secondly that we had at least one week a year when we holidayed just the two of us.
3pm I'm an amateur historian. I spend two hours by myself in my home office playing Total War Saga: Thrones of Britannia, set in 878 AD. I prefer turn-based strategy computer games to fast ones that require reflex.
6pm I cook dinner for the family once a week grilled fish from the fishmonger at the local farm- shop, Hartley in Cranbrook, Kent. I like bass, sole, or crab to make sandwiches with chips. I never eat takeaways now I make my own healthy cheeseburgers instead. I only drink twice a week, either for a rugby game or dinner with Anna. I'll start off with a pint,
then have a wine, then maybe a whisky or brandy. I don't drink excessively any more. I've never, ever regretted not having a drink.
8pm Bed. I've tried sitting on the sofa eating biscuits but I don't find it ful- filling. We read or watch a film on my laptop. I'm normally asleep by nine.

Whilst I never knew Russel Norman was a chef, he was a true gentleman and changed the UK food scene. I find this incredibly sad to read he had in fact committed suicide. He was very open about his struggles with depression and I suppose I secretly hoped he’d died of natural causes. It’s a shame to see this splashed all over the Mail.

Chef Russell Norman, 57, hanged himself after argument with girlfriend
The award-winning chef and restaurant owner was found on November 18 last year in the garden of his Kent home and was rushed to hospital.
