Waterboys star Mike Scott in Twitter spat with Jamie Oliver after restaurant incident

Waterboys rocker Mike Scott has launched a Twitter spat with celebrity chef Jamie Oliver over an incident at his restaurant where he was accused of jumping the queue.

The Dublin-based musician told how he tried to dine at Oliver’s Heathrow airport restaurant on Friday but felt “discriminated against” over his appearance.

He claimed that when he was approached by the waitress, he told her he would be dining alone and she responded with a “1960s British authoritarian schoolteacher type attitude”, telling him there were others that needed to be seated before him.
