'I'll never cook again,' vows Hell's Kitchen evictee Abigail Clancy

Clancy, who dates Liverpool striker Peter Crouch, declared: "I'm never going to cook again, at least not for a while because I'm sick to death of food."

She told GMTV: "We worked for 17 hour days with only an hour break - I've never worked so hard in may life, and I don't intend to again!"

The 26-year-old also revealed she was initially frightened of Marco Pierre White, the notoriously hot tempered chef who hosts the ITV 1 series.

She said: "When I first arrived we had to line up and he kept staring me out, and he ignored me for the first few days - I was terrified!

Still, he eventually won her over. She added: "He was really nice and he helped us a lot, he's fantastic at what he does - he's an amazing man."

The celebrity cooking show has been plagued by controversy - comic Jim Davidson was axed from the series earlier this week for insulting homosexuals.

The 53-year-old entertainer was asked to leave by programme-makers for homophobic comments, which saw him brand gay men "shirtlifters".

Mr Davidson left the nightly reality show after a series of rows with former Big Brother winner Brian Dowling, who is openly gay.
