IT’S been almost five months since it was revealed that Gordon Ramsay was making a documentary with fellow chefs Heston Blumenthal and Marco Pierre White.
But in that time there’d been no official announcement from the BBC or Gordon’s Studio Ramsay who are making the show, called the Rise of the Rockstar Chefs.

Which left some wondering if the trio – who are all rather “single-minded” Michelin-starred men – might have had a bust-up and had to call the whole thing off before it had even started.

A particular worry was Gordon and Marco because the Hell’s Kitchen star was famously reduced to tears when he started his culinary career working with Marco in his restaurant.

He recently made up with another telly chef he fell out with years ago, Marcus Wareing.
Not only did they end their feud, which began in 2008, they revealed earlier this year they were working on a new TV show together for BBC Two.
But with Marco the feelings run much deeper, with Gordon previously revealing their stormy relationship when, in the Eighties, he started working in Marco’s restaurant, Harveys, in Wandsworth, southwest London.
They’ve traded insults in various forms since, with Gordon saying in his recent Netflix documentary how working with his rival meant he: “Went to hell and back every day for 18 hours a day, six days a week.”
