Hell's Kitchen: Marco ejects famous diners

Hot-headed chef Marco Pierre White threw celebrities out of his restaurant as his temper boiled over on ITV1's Hell's Kitchen.

Marco gave Connie Fisher, winner of How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria?, model Catalina Guirado and their partners their marching orders, according to reports.

Marco's infamous temper was simmering when Connie tried to speak to contestant and pop star Paul Young on the opening night.

But it boiled over following a four-letter tirade from Catalina.

He also ousted BBC News 24 presenter Louise Minchin's husband for complaining about his food.

Gastro pub owner David Minchin sent back his asparagus starter - likening it to a cold "stack of railway sleepers" - much to the disgust of Marco, who branded him a "pompous f***er".

Marco instructed maitre d' Nick Munier to tell Mr Minchin and his wife, to "have a good evening" - code for send them packing.

Nick went out and said: "As you are not going to enjoy your evening we are not going to serve you any more food."

Mr Minchin said: "You don't treat customers like that."

However, Marco couldn't stop Liverpool football star Peter Crouch stealing a kiss from his model girlfriend Abbey Clancy, a trainee on the show.
