Gino D'Acampo isn't holding back when it comes to a classic Christmas dinner or fellow TV chef Nigella Lawson.
This Morning star Gino, 46, said he preferred to eat fish on Christmas day rather than a turkey, and dared to question Nigella's skills when it comes to roasting potatoes.
The Italian chef appeared on the festive special of The Wheel, hosted by Michael Macintyre, where he shared his thoughts on the traditional Christmas dinner.
Michael asked him about "Christmas in the D'Acampo household", to which Gino replied: "Beautiful, all of the family together. We don't do all the stuff you guys, you know...I don't like the idea of plates with everything on it," which drew gasps from the audience.
Gino went on: "I've never understood that, you guys! You have turkey, vegetable, potato, sprouts and then you cover everything with this gravy!"
His comments sparked outcry from his fellow celebs such as Bill Bailey, with Gino explaining: "The problem is everything tastes like gravy, I don't know what I'm eating. Sprouts taste like gravy, turkey tastes like gravy."
Comedian Michael questioned Gino on what he likes to eat on Christmas day, to which he said fish and seafood, adding he draws the line at crackers and he has "banned" them.
The contestants then turned to the game, with Michael asking what temperature Nigella, 62, suggests preheating the oven to before roasting potatoes.
Gino deliberated before answering 210- which was incorrect, with Nigella actually suggesting 230.
He then joked: "See? This is why Nigella knows nothing about cooking potatoes."
Gino was sent back down to the studio floor and was replaced survivalist Bear Grylls, who was dressed in a festive jumper.
Gino is not alone in sharing his thoughts on Christmas dinner. His roast potato rival Nigella said earlier this month that people should skip starters when it comes to the big day.
She added that over indulgence can leave some people feeling like a "bloated wreck".
The Celebrity chef said people can go the extreme on the festive occasion when it comes to food, in podcast The News Agents, presented by former BBC stars Emily Maitlis and Jon Sopel.
Talking about her own Christmas Day, Nigella said: “I don’t know why people do starters for Christmas lunch. I never have – that seems a madness."
She went on: “But I also think there is a way in which for so many people it does become a sort of obscene over indulgence.
"So people are not eating because it is pleasurable; they’re eating because, somehow, people feel it is when they should be eating non-stop.”
The How to Eat author said she thought people went "too far" when it comes to festive food, adding: “You want to feel full up and grateful that you feel full up, but you don’t want to be a bloated wreck.”
