Ever thought that Michel Roux Jnr might like to dabble in a bit more than foie gras and underhand Scrooge tactics when employing his staff?
Ever wondered whether Antony Worrall Thompson likes a little more than just a bit of casual shoplifting?

Who really knows the truth?
Of course, we have our own cocaine queen cook in the UK, but she never went as far as to line it up live on television.
The nearest we have to TV screw-ups in the UK is weatherman Tomasz Schafernaker. Here he is flipping the bird.
