Gordon Ramsay: Marco Pierre White looks like a member of the Taliban
TV chef Gordon Ramsay has reignited his feud with Marco Pierre White - calling his Michelin-starred rival "a little bit sad".
The foul-mouthed chef, 43, said he watched Nigella Lawson's cookery programmes and caught up with recordings of Jamie Oliver "maybe at two or three in the morning".
But he told the Radio Times he would switch channel to avoid Marco's Kitchen Burnout star White, 48, saying he looked "like someone from the Taliban".
He said: "Having been there and worked with him I know that he was an amazing chef, so when I see him philosophising, as opposed to cooking his arse off - being the real Marco - I find it a little bit sad."
He added: "When I see him sat there looking like someone from the Taliban with that rag on the top of his head it makes me laugh. But then I want to see him cook."
The enmity between White and Ramsay dates back to the 1980s, when Ramsay, then a novice, was apparently reduced to tears while working for White.
