Has to be Nigella Lawson for oh so many reasons 
I really like his recipes, but cannot stand the way he comes across and therefore can't watch him on the TV without wanting to put my foot through the screen.
The same applies to Nigella Lawson - I just can't see why she sends so many blokes giddy. She's the cooking equivalent of Julian Clary with her OTT innuendo and knowing looks - GET OFF MY SCREEN YOU F***ING MORON.
Maybe it's just a Nigel thing?
Going against the grain of a Crodo thread with a proper answer, I'd probably go for Tom Kerridge.
His recipes are quite the faff to make, even though they seem unpretentious at first glance but The Hand & Flowers is excellent. He was actually there 2 out of the 3 times I've been, which may have been luck but is more than can be said for a lot of the chefs with their name above the restaurant door... He was very chatty and cheerful and seemed to genuinely get on with his staff.

Same. I have most of his books but can’t bring myself to watch him on TV.I really like his recipes, but cannot stand the way he comes across and therefore can't watch him on the TV without wanting to put my foot through the screen.

With his books I have to skip the intro to his recipes as I can't help but read it in his smug voice... Just shows how good they are that I even bother

His homemade Chicken Kiev's are fantastic - as you say a little fiddly but worth the effort.
Went to a food and music festival in Preston Park last year. Pissing down but he was still doing a BBQ cooking demonstration - Mrs WS was quite star struck when she managed to corner him for a chat and get a few photos - nice guy. Buggered if I can remember what he cooked as the only real memory I have of the evening is the Sugarbabes live on stage !!!!
Gregg Wallace is a salesman not a cook
I think you mean a multi-married (sometimes to women FAR younger than him), bankrupt ex-greengrocer ( not that there's anything wrong with any of that ! ).
A good chef always needs to know a good fisherman, and this is a classic haul.

Well ‘ard Millwall fan too
Fishing it might be but it's a darn sight more entertaining than watching the Albion at the moment.A good chef always needs to know a good fisherman, and this is a classic haul.

By the size of him now, he obviously didn’t rate his own how to lose weight book!
Corrected for you
Has he put a bit of timber back on then?
He was enormous, but lost over 10 stone IIRC. I doubt he's out that much back on, but happy to be corrected.
I was interested, so I looked it up.
'Dopamine diet' explained as Tom Kerridge credits it with his 12st weight loss
Celebrity chef Tom Kerridge credits his impressive 12st weight loss with something known as the 'dopamine diet', but what is it, and can it really help you lose weight?
www.mirror.co.uk
No mention of him putting weight back on there (from Feb), so what made you think he has?
