The celebrity chef opened up about his move to ITV, and revealed that the jump to his self-titled show was a “learning curve”.
In an interview with Chris Evans, the star said:
“I knew it would take a fair way for people to find you and to see it because ITV has never really had food on the network before.
[The show’s] had great progress and has been a big learning curve. It’s also been a fresh start, something new and something to get your teeth into.”
