I remember when Jamie first started on TV and he seemed like a lovely guy back then. I think it all went wrong when he made friends with the Blairs, he probably started believing his own hype. I have to change channel if he appears now.
He is the only telly chef I cannot watch, and I LOVE watching food and cookery programmes. I find him so annoying, smug and nothing he does is that "new".
he has never inspired me to go into the kitchen to cook anything and I find his "here's a quick and cheap meal if you don't have much cash... buy a corn fed free range chicken...and capers.." approach makes me wish we had interactive tv so I could slap him.
He was always fairly annoying what with his school dinner crusade, bland cooking shows and uninspired and inauthentic Italian restaurants, but since he has come out as a UKIP supporter, I have a real reason to despise him.
He's become the spokesman for my grocery store here in Canada, Sobey's. I loathe the man and refuse to buy anything he promotes.
Just cannot bring home any product with his face on the parcel.
At least they've stopped running the ads on TV with him prancing about and going "who knew Canada was so big"
Please keep him onyour side of the Atlantic.
He disappeared up his own fundament years ago. The fact that he supports UKIP is bad enough, but his latest initiative to try and close fast food restaurants near schools is just unbelievable. I mean, he won't be affected by the economic crisis, but to try and close businesses simply because they are near schools is just >:(>:(>:(>:(

Wow.. didn't know he supported UKIP, that just proves he really has no idea how the world actually works and by going down that route he is truly going to screw up this country. But he won't be affected with his millions and overbearing ego. Perhaps he'd prefer it like it was in the good old days? When buying a chicken was a luxury and bread was packed out with sawdust so the poor could afford it.
Also, no one forces these kids to eat crap at lunchtime, they want to, the schools should simply do what mine did years ago. No one goes off site unless parents approval is given.
What makes me laugh is he campaigns for banning fast food restaurants "because he is worried for the kids" but is never home for his own brood and wife.
There's far more offensive people on TV than Jamie IMO.
The only thing that I find vaguely annoying, is his Mockney persona. He's a nice middle-class grammar school educated lad, with parents who own a lovely country pub, which is very well thought of in foodie circles.
Cocker-nee?
Never in a million years!
That was quite funny when he first got on TV (late 90s), he was doing live cooking on breakfast TV, whenever something when wrong and he got stressed his 'cockney' accent vanished and became a very posh accent instead.
Read somewhere that the mockney accent is totally fake too.
It is from what I've seen, he used to magically lose it when we screwed things up on live TV and became stressed when he was doing his Naked Chef segment on breakfast TV when we first started appearing on the box in the late 90s. His real accent appear to be a posh public school boy one. Always found that funny when it happened.

No.
You are welcome to him.

That said I quite like him.
