Scots singing sensation Marti Pellow has been left flabbergasted after getting stitched up by Jamie Oliver on Michael McIntyre's Big Show.The Wet, Wet, Wet crooner, who hails from Clydebank, thought he was in for a night of fine dining at the top chef's restaurant on Saturday night.Instead, he became the first victim of Michael McIntyre's new BBC series which goes in for pranking celebs.
On the show, McIntyre teamed up with Oliver to prepare an amuse bouche and mocktail for the Angel Eyes chanter.The ingredients, however, were far from restaurant standard.
Snacks were picked from the studio audience including monster munch, skips, Oreos, Cathedral City cheese and even a can of Irn Bru for Oliver to create a stomach-churning concoction for Marti to be presented with.Panning to the make-shift restaurant, which was actually attached to the studio, a waitress, who was in fact an actress in disguise, welcomed Marti, who was dressed very patriotically in a kilt, and his friend to the eatery.McIntyre was feeding lines to the 'waitress' through an earpiece to get the musician settled, while Oliver whipped up an off-putting plate of "warm and sweaty" cheese paired with a "pesto type paste" of Skips and olive oil.The mocktail consisted of Irn Bru, Oreo cookie, olive oil, and drinks the audience had brought with them.
After the meal was prepared, Oliver went through to the restaurant to greet Marti in person and hand over the "retro crisp board".
