Jamie Oliver gives update on feud with Gordon Ramsay after years of squabbles

Yahoo02-06-2025
Jamie Oliver has addressed his feud with fellow chef, Gordon Ramsay, after years of public squabbles.
The famous chefs first fell out in 2009 when Oliver blasted Ramsay for comparing an Australian journalist to a pig.
The following year, Ramsay, 58, declared that he was a 'chef', while Oliver, 49, was 'just a cook' and a 'one-pot wonder' and Oliver retaliated by mocking his rival for 'having Botox'.
In 2017, the Hell's Kitchen star called Oliver 'fat' on his talk show, The Nightly Show, and later issued a playful apology on air.
Reflecting on their turbulent history on Sunday, Oliver told The Times: 'Me and Gordon are absolutely friends, our little berating decade is behind us.
'He's smashing life at the moment. He's doing things that no chef's ever done. We're on good terms and long may it continue.'
Ramsay recently revealed his wife Tana is a fan of Oliver's cookbooks and often uses his recipes for the family's meals. He also shared a TikTok of himself reading one of Oliver's books and called their fallout 'old news'.
In January, Oliver admitted he and Ramsay built bridges and are 'currently friends' after being told to 'grow up' by their wives and children.
He previously said Ramsay was 'very supportive' when his restaurant empire, which included Jamie's Italian, Barbecoa and Fifteen, collapsed into administration in May 2019.
Ramsay said of the restaurant closures: 'Bottom line is, he's a great guy and a great chef and it was sad to see him disappear overnight but we had a drink and it was a tough time.'
The chef added the families barbecued together while on holiday together in Cornwall in 2018.
While Oliver's feud with Ramsay has thawed, he recently admitted his 'hero' Marco Pierre White still doesn't like me at all' after he 'destroyed' him when the pair first met.
Asked about the feud on The Louis Theroux Podcast, Oliver said: 'Oh he doesn't like me at all, still doesn't. I don't know (why). I have no shared history with him, working under him, so, he doesn't have a sense of control.'
The cookbook author continued: 'We went on a shoot one day, spent a day with him and it was perfectly lovely, and then a week later he just destroyed me on a double-page spread.
'I was really pleased to meet him, but he just destroyed me. And then you sort of think, well that was sort of a bit low. But, you meet people you love and often they're like, they clearly think you're a w**ker. So that's fine. I don't need anything from him.
'I still think he was a game changer. He was still my hero for that period of my life. But, that's life and it's not just Marco, it's lots of people it's happened to.'

Spice Girl Melanie C stuns on romantic island getaway with Australian model boyfriend

Spice Girl Melanie C – aka Sporty Spice – looks as fit as ever in these candid new vacation photos. The 90s pop legend, 51, escaped to the island of Mallorca for a romantic getaway with her partner, Australian actor and model Chris Dingwall. Advertisement The loved-up pair each shared a carousel of photos from the vacation on Instagram, with Melanie looking absolutely ripped in a tiny two-piece black bikini – and in another snap, relaxing on a boat while reading a book about the history of ecstasy use in dance music. 4 Spice Girl Melanie C shared photos from her romantic vacation with model Chris Dingwall. @melaniecmusic / Instagram Fans and friends were full of praise for the star in the comments section. 'Seeing Melanie look this healthy and happy melts my heart,' one longtime fan wrote. Advertisement 'Gorgeous to see you so happy and relaxed,' wrote UK broadcaster Kate Thornton. 'You're both so cute together. Love seeing you enjoying moments of love,' another fan gushed. 4 The pop singer captioned her Instagram carousel 'a slice of paradise.' @melaniecmusic / Instagram Dingwall is originally from Sydney but travels the world as a model signed to Ford Models and Chadwick. Advertisement The pair went public at Wimbledon in London last July, days after they were spotted walking hand-in-hand at the iconic Glastonbury festival. But they had been quietly dating for months before that: Melanie's frequent visits to our shores earlier in 2024, ostensibly for DJing gigs, also doubled as quality time with Dingwall as the pair shared romantic getaways in resorts across Brisbane, Byron Bay and the Whitsundays. 4 The 90s pop icon showed off her toned body in the photos. @melaniecmusic / Instagram Since those early days the pair have become more open about their relationship, with Melanie C even professing her 'love' for Dingwall on social media in January after he wished her a happy 51st birthday. Advertisement Furthering her Aussie connection, Melanie C will soon appear as one of the celeb coaches on the next season of Seven's music contest The Voice alongside Ronan Keating, Richard Marx and Kate Miller-Heidke. She was based in Bondi while she lived here to film the season, and also made a surprise appearance at a Sydney gay club in April, filming scenes for a new music video. 4 The couple first went public in July 2024. @melaniecmusic / Instagram Melanie C is undoubtedly the most private of the five Spice Girls when it comes to her love life, largely keeping her relationships out of the public eye since a string of romances with high-profile musicians. She has a teenage daughter from a longtime relationship with ex-partner Thomas Starr. The pair split in 2012 after a decade together. After that, Melanie dated her manager, Joe Marshall, for seven years before they split in 2022.

UK's Greens Face Battle Over Populism in Leadership Race

Three candidates are battling to become the next leader of the UK's Green Party. They agree Britain's increasingly fractured political landscape creates an opportunity — but are divided on how to seize it. Members of Parliament Ellie Chowns and Adrian Ramsay, who are running on a joint ticket, embody the Greens' traditional ethos of inclusiveness, equality and cooperation. Up against them is Zack Polanski, who wants to win over voters alienated by the 'woke language' of the left by playing the populist right at their own game.
