Marcus Wareing, who said he feared Gordon Ramsay would "really f*ing p'* off" when he messaged to say he was withdrawing from their BBC Two series.

Gordon Ramsay, 59, told his old rival: 'Marcus, seriously, mate, do not worry.' Marcus Wareing, 56, admitted he dreaded sending the message, fearing he would 'really f*'ing p'* Gordon off again'. The MasterChef: The Professionals judge said that on reflection he did not see himself as the right person for the presenting role. He added that 'in our older age now, it's good to be honest.'

The pair first fell out over a business dispute in 2008 before reconciling this year.

Ramsay's production company Studio Ramsay was behind the BBC Two series before Wareing withdrew in August.

Wareing had previously said of the project: 'I can't wait to get started.'
