Well done mate, missed the birth of your child to go and lose on Masterchef. Well, I expect he had more fun than he would have done going to a hospital to get a first look at someone he'll be looking at for the rest of his life.
I can assure you I didn't miss the birth of my son (nor my daughter) and wouldn't have done so for a euromillions win. My wife was on the rest period in between inductions and was sat watching Jeremy Kyle while I made a tit of myself on national telly, genuinely just having a go at doing something a bit different. The filming was around the corner from the hospital and I had a car waiting to run me back if labour started. You'll be pleased to know my beautiful healthy son was born 36 hours after I arrived in the studio.I know you're only commenting on what you see and hear, but they cut bits out where I explained we'd only confirmed my attendance the night before and sought advice from doctors to say they were 99% certain she wasn't going to go in labour that day. I can assure you that despite what people might think my kids come before anything and despite being crap at cooking evidently I'm actually a pretty normal boring guy who just wanted to test myself! Timing could have been better granted...

It sounded more dramatic when the impression was that she was mid-flow, as it were, whilst you warmed through some pigeon in a water bath. Did anyone say to you afterwards that you should have cooked the meat in a pan or oven?

If this is genuine, and it's a big if, fair play to you.
Unfortunately it is genuine! I know 1000's will have their opinion but this one was at the top of the google search list so i thought I would defend myself at least once! Anyway my missus is a South London girl, and if I had have left her in labour to do it, she would have done me in.With regards to the question on the sous vide pigeon. I practised that so much you wouldn't believe it. I must have tested 2 dozen pigeons for different times and different temperatures until I perfected it. (I bought so many pigeons in the weeks leading up to it our butcher asked me if I was "alright?" inferring I was bonkers!) told him what they were for to see if you would give us some freebies but he never did!
On the day, it just didn't work. But it wasn't through lack of effort or testing.
Apologies for high jacking your forum but like I say, thought I would put it out there that I'm not a total t
t!I can handle the fat jibes (as it's a fact) and the sweaty sod ones (it was roasting hot) but I wouldn't have sacked the missus off for a telly show!
Cheers
