Rachel Allen has revealed she can't bring herself to watch her son Joshua's MMA fights.
The celebrity chef isn't able to watch any of Joshua’s violent bouts, and she often watches her formula car racing son Lucca's races from behind her clenched hands, reports RSVP.
“Isaac, my husband, goes to every single one, every single race and every single fight,” Rachel told the Sunday World.

“I have gone to some races, I can’t say I don’t watch the racing from behind my eyes. But MMA, I haven’t brought myself to watch that yet.
“I like to say that I support him 100 per cent while I’m at home praying to my father and husband that everything will be OK. I definitely will have to go some time.”
Aside from their pursuit of daring sports, Rachel’s three children, Joshua, 22, Lucca, 20 and 13-year-old Scarlett, are also a dab hand in the kitchen after watching their mother’s skills in action for so many years.
“Scarlett, she bakes a lot, she’s always baking,” she exclaims. “I was always baking at that age too and that can be just a lovely thing to do on your own or with your friends, they love all baking together in someone’s house or a cousin’s house. So, who knows?
“Josh is into cooking when he’s training. He needs to eat certain things higher in protein. So he will cook well for himself in that respect, and Lucca is the same. Quite often with the training angle as well.”
