Marco Pierre White and Gordon Ramsay have ended their feud to work together on a new TV show.
The celebrity chefs have been embroiled in a war of words for decades, and it reached boiling point when when Gordon gate-crashed Marco’s wedding in 2000 with a film crew, but they will put aside their differences for the new venture.
The pair will be seen on screen together in new show called ‘Next Level’, which will see wannabe chefs battle it out for the chance to be crowned the latest culinary superstar.
A source said: “Gordon tentatively reached out to Marco in lockdown, apologised for his part in their feud, and the pair have been speaking regularly. Marco has agreed to get on board, and everyone is raring to go.”
The series originally aired on Fox in the US and has reportedly caught the attention of both the BBC and ITV in the UK.
Speaking to The Sun newspaper, the source added: “It’s a massively exciting project – and the most unexpected, but ingenious, partnership. Gordon recently finished filming the first series for Fox in the US, and there’s been unprecedented levels of interest with both BBC and ITV.”
Marco, 59, will appear alongside the ‘Hell’s Kitchen’ star as a mentor for the wannabe chefs.
The feud was said to have started when Gordon was a 20-year-old apprentice at Marco’s Michelin-starred restaurant.
Speaking in 2006, Marco said: “I don’t recall what he’d done wrong but I yelled at him and he lost it. Gordon crouched down in the corner of the kitchen, buried his head in his hands and started sobbing.”
