TOWIE's James Argent served tinned curry on Celebrity Cooking School
James Argent served curry from a tin during ‘Celebrity Cooking School’.
The 36-year-old TV personality -who shot to fame after appearing on ‘The Only Way Is Essex’ (TOWIE) - will be learning how to cook alongside ‘Made In Chelsea’ star Olivia Bentley, ‘Geordie Shore’s Scotty T, former Conservative minister Anne Widdecombe and YouTuber Spudzz.
During the episode, Olivia called James’ efforts a “car crash”.
She said: “It’s a car crash. The bhaji is too greasy, the rice isn’t salted, the chicken is overcooked.”
“Apart from that, it was perfect.”
The Channel 4 show is hosted by Melvin Odoom and sees chef Giorgio Locatelli, who has a Michelin star for his Italian restaurant, try to teach celebrities with no culinary skills how to create a tasty meal.
Although James is ready to take on the challenge, he admitted Georgio has “his work cut out” if the chef wants to teach the TV star how to rustle up an impressive dinner.
He said: “It took me 11 attempts to pass my driving test so, Georgio has his work cut out.”
“I’m not denying I love food. I love it so much I had to get a gastric sleeve.”
Despite being ready to take to the kitchen, James has revealed that he is not looking to return to ‘TOWIE’.
He told Closer magazine: “If I’m being honest, I would never go back.
“I gave my whole life to it, from my family relationships to my friendships, to girlfriends, to breaking up, to banter with the boys, to my singing and performances. You saw me grow up on there.
“I feel like I’ve done absolutely everything that there was to do on TOWIE. I’ve ticked every single box and I’ve got very fond memories. I’m fortunate that I’m no longer ‘Arg from TOWIE’ and I’ve been able to become James Argent in my own right – I’m a wedding singer now.”
“But, who knows? Maybe if 'TOWIE' ever comes to an end, I’ll come back for a cameo and perform with my band on the last episode.
“A cameo will do. But I’m finally doing what I’ve always wanted to do.”
