A talented young chef from Gateshead whose skills landed him in the TV spotlight says the experience will help him achieve his culinary dream.
Danny McPherson, from Bensham, has now turned 20 but was 19 when he took part in new BBC Three cookery competition Hungry For It, hosted by Stacey Dooley, which is currently screening on Tuesday nights. It sees TV cook Big Zuu and Chef Kay Kay - who is a personal cook for the likes of P Diddy and Justin Bieber - mentor rookie cooks wanting to make it in the trade, with a prize up for grabs of a culinary trip of a lifetime.
As one of 10 contestants, Danny put his skills to the test and also in passing, it turns out, he educated the famous hosts about the culinary delights of Greggs. "I explained to Chef Kay Kay what Greggs is - and the steak bake and yum yum!"
