Wareing has chilled out in recent years from what I've seen. Let his hair down, literally.
As soon as Roux stepped away I called it that it would be Wareing. I think he'll be a good fit tbh and I quite like the guy.
I still think the BBC are mental though. The irony being that Roux was on the One Show plugging various things only last week! [belm face at the BBC]

Hand't heard that Mr Roux had left - such a pity - it worked really well. Have to agree with the link above - Marcus may be a fab chef, but from seeing him on Great British Menu as well as normal Materchef as a guest judge - he doesn't have the warmth that Roux has. IMO the program needs that warmth to balance Monica's scary.
It'll just be too much with two angry/scary chefs.
Tom Kerridge would have been a better choice IMO - although i'm willing to give Marcus the benefit of the doubt - he may well surprise.

As likeable as Kerridge he's not great at being on camera, which is an odd skill to quantify. He doesn't seem to have the self-confidence/arrogance to command the presence needed - odd as that sounds for a chap of his (physical and professional) stature and obvious talent.
I'm keen to see how Wareing fares. He may surprise us. If anything he's a better fit for Professionals but if he does well I can see him being offered the regular gig too. I'd quite like to see Daniel Clifton in that role. Had the pleasure of an evening with him and his brigade and he's a thoroughly nice chap who is firm but fair and very likeable. He also has the creds to back it up.
