A Liverpool chef was in "utter shock" after being asked to appear on the BBC's Great British Menu.
The hit show features esteemed British chefs from various regions across the country, competing to produce a menu served at a prestigious banquet for prominent guests. Sam Grainger, chef patron at Belzan and Madre, will grace our screens this evening at 8pm - though he won't be watching.
Sam, 32, a Liverpool supporter, told the ECHO: "It's on tonight at 8pm - the exact same time as the Liverpool match. I’m watching the footy - I don't want to see or hear myself talk on screen."
