A celebrated Liverpool chef has said he would consider getting involved with The Adelphi Hotel if it were to come under new ownership.
The Adelphi is one of the city's most famous hotels and was once considered a Liverpool gem, but under current owners Britannia it has been described as a "blight" on the city.
The hotel is under particular pressure at present as it finds itself the subject of two ongoing Liverpool Council Environmental Health investigations. One of these concerns the tragic death of 21-year-old Chloe Haynes, who was crushed to death during a stay at the Adelphi in September.
