TV chef Jamie Oliver has said his “hero” Marco Pierre White “still doesn’t like me at all” after he “destroyed” him when the pair first met.

The 49-year-old said his Michelin-starred rival was important for the restaurant industry, despite Pierre White previously describing Oliver as “a fat chef with a drum kit” during a 2007 interview with The Sun.
