The Chase bombshell after Giles Coren admits what he doesn't like

The Chase fans were left stunned tonight as food critic Giles Coren made a shocking admission.

Giles appeared on a celebrity version of the show alongside Rachel Johnson and Chris Packham and Josie Long.

Giles chatted to host Bradley Walsh before going up against The Sinnerman, Paul Sinha, who was tonight's Chaser.

The critic said he was regularly shouted at by chefs after giving them a bad review and that it was a peril of the job.

The 51-year-old did well in his cash builder, but was brave and went for the high offer of £40,000.

The Times critic did well in his questions, but when he came up against a music question he floundered.
