Fans of Channel 4 show Come Dine With Me will all be familiar with Kev Riley.
His name might not be familiar, but he's the bloke who stuck a whisk in his mouth in the middle of preparing a meal. Delightful.
It's now been an entire decade since the UK first watched Kev and his whisk on Channel 4, and he's made sure to cash in on his fame.
These days, Kev is earning money by appearing in Cameo videos - which fans of Come Dine With Me can buy for £23 a pop.
Cameo allows people to request a personal message from some of their favourite celebs.
His Cameo bio reads: "Just a regular northern lad , famous for putting a kitchen utensil in my mouth , whilst on primetime TV."

Last week, Kev spilt some secrets about his time on Come Dine With me.
According to MyLondon, the whisk icon spilled the beans in a Reddit thread.
The DJ wrote: “My name is Kev. I'm the kitchen utensil enthusiast from Channel 4's Come Dine With Me.
“I heard you all enjoyed seeing me on TV and, judging from some of the comments I read in u/Cyrinic's post last week, you all seemed to have some burning questions, so I'm here to answer them!
“Here I am! So, what do you want to ask me?
“I can't promise I'll be here all day but I will try and answer as many questions as I can!”
The comments flooded in - so much so that Kev had to take a break at 4pm after three and a half hours of answering the intrigued social media users.
But not before he delivered some true insights into the hit show - and that hit moment.
One Reddit user asked: “Why did you do it? (You know what I’m referring to).”
To which the DJ replied: “Tough one this! I get asked it all the time but it was a spur of the moment thing to make the producer of the show laugh while we were cooking the vegetables. I didn't think they would include it!”
Fans rushed in to comment on how relieved they were to finally know the answer, with one saying: “Finally. This is all I've wanted to know for years. I just wondered whether you were being deliberately aloof or genuinely weird. Props for the former!”
Others remarked on how this reasoning just made the whole thing “so much funnier”, while one more dubbed Kev a “legend”.
The next question that gained a lot of attention was, “Do you keep in touch with the people you did Come Dine with Me with?”
One user was in “actual shock” at the DJ’s reply, which was: “I knew them anyway! 2 of them were friends already although we didn't know until we turned up at their houses! The greeting bit was a bit staged.”
Someone else chimed in: “I always thought that it was a bit staged, but not that staged.”
Kev also commented on the staged aspect of the show later on: “Parts of it are natural, some if it is staged, the funnier something is, the more likely they are to make you do it again from a different angle (hence why you have a 'spare meal').”
Following on from this topic, another Reddit user asked later on: “I mean my first question would be why?
“But actually I'd be more interested in your experience on come dine with me, what parts did/didn't go as portrayed on the show and how much were you coached to do/say things, did the producers try to stir up any drama or ask leading questions during the interviews.”
The DJ did not disappoint in his answer, revealing: “Yeah they did a bit. They told me to wear my Burnley F.C shirt (which I didn't do) because they were trying to portray me as a typical Burnley lad to 'clash' with Mark on the show but we actually got on really well.”
Other users just wanted to get involved to thank Kev for his services to British TV, with one writing: “Not a question but thank you for creating a classic moment in British TV history.”
While more just wanted to send him their love, as one said: “I don’t have a question, but the first time I saw your clip I was on the couch having a duvet day because I was depressed. I belly-laughed at the confidence you nearly inhaled that utensil with. No questions, just sending my love from one internet stranger to another.”
