'I was living in a shelter in the woods before I became a chef'

Jordan Brady has been impressing judges on a new cooking contest on Channel 4 but his life wasn't always so glamourous. The 29-year-old has come a long way since his teen years.

He doesn't have any formal chef qualifications and is mostly self-taught. He got into cooking when he was younger and often had to make his own dinner.

Jordan claims to have left school at age 11 and "went off the rails" as a teen. He admits he into trouble with the police a lot as a teen and was arrested regularly for things such as anti-social behaviour, breaking cars, and stealing motorbikes.
