New photo TV chef Tom Kerridge reveals 'colossal' boozing may have helped him to succeed in the kitchen

Celebrity chef Tom Kerridge believes his ‘colossal’ boozing helped him to success in the kitchen and on TV.

Recalling years of heavy drinking, he tells Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs today: ‘I don’t regret that period at all. Alcohol became a huge release for driving the business forward, to winning two Michelin stars...

‘It always proved this massive release of energy, of pressure.’

Pressure: Celebrity chef Tom Kerridge in his drinking days

The 45-year-old, whose TV credits include MasterChef and The Great British Menu and whose Bucks gastropub The Hand & Flowers gained its second Michelin star in 2012, admits drinking with the intention of getting ‘smashed’.

But five years ago, he began to have sleepless nights about being without alcohol.

He quit drinking and shed 12st through diet and exercise.

He adds: ‘I probably am dependent on alcohol.

'I can’t touch it. I am untrustworthy with it.

‘I would like to think that maybe one day I would be able to enjoy a glass of red wine with the roast beef that I love so much.

‘But at this moment in time, there is no way that is allowed in my life.’

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

SATC star Kim swears by gym sessions with Russian kettle bells (traditional cast-iron weights) and the South Beach Diet to give her the body she wants. To avoid overeating, Kim has a radical diet trick – squirting lemon juice on her leftovers – so she won’t carry on picking.

Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
