I’m sure it hasn’t had such a detrimental effect on the one-man-brand that is Oliver, who is completing his remarkable transition from mockney chef to champion of culinary good causes. I’m not suggesting that he embarks on these campaigns solely as a vehicle for his own advancement, but there’s certainly something about him I find much less sincere than Whittingstall, or, dare I say it, Ramsay.

What I will concede, quite readily, is that in comparison to Jeremy Kyle the man’s a bloody saint.
