Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby Join Gordon Ramsay To Make Sausage And Mash

Last Updated: Pedro Pascal and Vanessa Kirby will be seen in Marvel's The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Pedro Pascal and Vanessa Kirby joined chef Gordon Ramsay for a cooking session on his popular YouTube show Scrambled. The actors, who are currently promoting their upcoming film Marvel's The Fantastic Four: First Steps, teamed up with Ramsay to cook a classic British dish: Sausage and mash. As the episode kicked off, Ramsay jumped straight into chef mode. 'The secret of good sausage and mash?" he asked Pascal. The actor hesitated and replied, 'Are you going to quiz me?" Ramsay said yes, but Pascal playfully resisted, saying, 'Don't." The moment left Ramsay laughing. To save the duo from tears, Ramsay peeled the onions beforehand. 'So, there's no acid there. You will not be crying. I promise you," he assured them. But when it came to slicing, Pascal looked a bit unsure. 'I f****** hate knives," he admitted and also apologised for swearing. On the other side, Kirby was given sausage duty. She had to heat them in a separate pan with thyme sprigs for flavour. Pascal eventually took on the onions and sliced them before adding them to the pan. With salt, pepper, a bit of sugar and a dollop of butter, the mix was set to caramelise. Pascal's dramatic salt-sprinkling style (very Salt Bae, we must say) catches attention. As the ingredients cooked, Ramsay mentioned that Kirby started as a baker. She shared how it began in her basement and described it as a calming 'meditative" activity. In true Ramsay style, he poured in some brandy and a splash of wine. The conversation shifted to fellow actor Ebon Moss-Bachrach, whom they agreed was the best cook on set who always brought in 'epic" food and made morning coffee. Next came the veggie stock, which was added once the onions and thyme turned golden brown. Ramsay asked Kirby to prick the sausages with a fork to help the butter seep inside better. The final step was mashed potatoes with cream and butter to keep them soft. Though the task was assigned to Kirby, Pascal stepped in. 'This is the first time he's ever cooked in his life," Kirby playfully remarked. During the light-hearted chat, Kirby, who is pregnant, also spoke about her relationship with Premier Lacrosse League president Paul Rabil. When Ramsay asked if they had picked a name for the baby, Kirby replied, 'You simply can't." Ramsay agreed, saying, 'There are several names that can be pre-decided, but it is impossible to name it without seeing this beautiful person." Coming back to the dish, Pascal mashed the potatoes, slightly lumpy but done and plated the dish. The sausage went on top, followed by the rich onion gravy and a final touch of fried onions. As the episode wrapped up, Ramsay's wife, Tana Ramsay, came in for the final taste test. After trying both versions of the dish, she declared it a tie.

These outfits don't just mark royal milestones, they reflect nearly a century of British fashion history through the eyes of a monarch who understood the power of clothing. Alongside the statement looks, like coronation robes and glittering State Banquet gowns, visitors will also get a peek at the Queen's more personal, off-duty side. Think tailored riding jackets, tartan skirts, and the silk scarves she loved to tie around her head while walking the dogs or heading to Balmoral.

Who was Ozzy Osbourne? The controversial rock icon whose music and addiction struggles made headlines

Ozzy Osbourne death: Ozzy Osbourne was a renowned British rock musician who first rose to fame as the lead singer of the iconic heavy metal band Black Sabbath, later establishing himself as a successful solo artist. Known as the "Prince of Darkness," he became equally famous for his hard-hitting music and unpredictable, often controversial behavior, including his battle with addiction. His popularity extended beyond music, thanks in part to the hit reality show The Osbournes, securing his legacy as one of rock's most unforgettable and influential figures. Who was Ozzy Osbourne? Ozzy Osbourne was a legendary rock vocalist from Britain, widely considered one of the most pivotal figures in the evolution of heavy metal music. He gained fame in the early 1970s as the lead singer of Black Sabbath, a band that helped define the genre with its heavy, ominous sound and iconic tracks like Paranoid, War Pigs, and Iron Man. His chilling voice and rebellious image earned him the title 'Prince of Darkness.' In 1979, Ozzy was fired from Black Sabbath due to his struggles with drug and alcohol addiction. However, he quickly bounced back with a solo career that proved just as impactful, releasing acclaimed albums like Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a Madman. His solo hits, including Crazy Train and Mr. Crowley, further solidified his status as a rock legend. It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning.

His decades-long battle with addiction kept him in the headlines, but his eventual commitment to sobriety and efforts to overcome his demons served as an inspiration to many. Reality show - The Osbournes In the 2000s, Ozzy Osbourne experienced a resurgence in popularity with the debut of the hit MTV reality show The Osbournes. Premiering in 2002, the series provided an unfiltered and often chaotic look into the everyday life of Ozzy and his family. It revealed a surprising side of the so-called Prince of Darkness, one that was funny, vulnerable, and highly relatable. Featuring his wife Sharon and children Kelly and Jack, the show highlighted Ozzy's candid personality, eccentric habits, and offbeat humour, which quickly endeared him to a new, younger audience unfamiliar with his earlier musical career. The show was a cultural phenomenon, drawing massive viewership, winning an Emmy Award, and establishing the Osbournes as household names far beyond the rock scene.

Ozzy Osbourne and his struggle with addiction' substance abuse Ozzy Osbourne's journey through fame was heavily influenced by his long-term battle with substance abuse and addiction. His dependence on drugs and alcohol began in the early 1970s while he was with Black Sabbath and worsened as his stardom grew. The severity of his addiction eventually led to his removal from the band in 1979. Even after achieving great success as a solo artist, Ozzy's struggles with addiction persisted for many years, frequently drawing public attention due to his erratic behavior, shocking antics, and close encounters with death. Among the most notorious incidents tied to his substance-fueled lifestyle were biting the head off a dove during a meeting with record executives and later biting the head off a live bat on stage, acts that became lasting symbols of his wild and self-destructive persona.

In 1971, he married Thelma Riley, whom he met at a nightclub in the U.K. The couple had two children together—Jessica, now 53, and Louis, in his mid-40s. Osbourne also adopted Elliot, Thelma's son from a previous relationship. After their marriage ended, Ozzy married Sharon Arden (now Sharon Osbourne) in 1982. At the time, Sharon was working for her father, Don Arden, who had managed Black Sabbath and was involved in Ozzy's career following his dismissal from the band in 1979 due to substance abuse.
