Michelin starred chef and housewives favourite Gary Rhodes is to return to our TVs this weekend but it'll be on the dance floor rather than behind the stove.
While Raymond Blanc is back with The Restaurant, the formerly spiky haired one, who beefed up and stripped off for Men's Health earlier this year, is seeking to dazzle with his two-step on Strictly Come Dancing.
Rhodes and dancing partner Karen Hardy will take on a field of largely recognisable stars of sport and stage, no doubt with the dedication on Rhodes's part that helped him achieve a second Michelin star earlier this year with business partner Compass Group.
However, such is Gary Rhodes's competitive drive that word reaches Kitchen Rat that the opening of his forthcoming new restaurants with Harbour Hotels in Dorset has had to be put back while he works on his moves so he can truly dazzle on the dance-floor.
Question is will he go one better than TV chef James Martin, who competed on Strictly Come Dancing in 2005, and make the final?
