Chef feared for his life while in jail

CELEBRITY chef Conrad Gallagher has spoken of how he feared for his life in a New York jail while awaiting extradition to Ireland.

The 32-year-old Donegal man claims he felt threatened by razor-wielding criminals during the six weeks he spent in custody at the Brooklyn Detention Centre in New York.

Gallagher also admitted that he is experiencing financial difficulties over huge legal costs and debts from his failed businesses in Ireland.
