Marco Pierre White says TV cameras at his wedding caused rift with Gordon Ramsay
Marco Pierre White says Gordon Ramsay brought TV cameras to his wedding in 2000, leading White to stop speaking to him for years.
The chefs had been close in the late 1980s, when Ramsay worked at White’s London restaurant, Harvey’s.
White rejected earlier rumours that their falling-out was caused by Ramsay leaving the restaurant or by a kitchen dispute.
He confirmed that Ramsay cried on his final day at Harvey’s, but said that was not why he cut contact.
The wedding cameras were the reason, White said, objecting to their presence at a private occasion.
The former friends have since reunited for a BBC series, The Rise of the Rockstar Chef, which also features Heston Blumenthal.
