"Marco Pierre White has revealed that the contestants on his new show Marco&amp;#039;s Kitchen Burnout struggled to succeed. White told the News of the World that the programme, which features 12 celebrities working in restaurants, is harder than other similar competitions. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s much tougher than Hell&amp;#039;s Kitchen,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;There&amp;#039;s nowhere to hide. The tasks become progressively harder and you see the tears. It was mayhem.&amp;quot; He explained that most of the celebrities found the contest difficult, saying: &amp;quot;It was like watching the Titanic sink. They went down without a trace.&amp;quot; White dismissed claims that he flirted with Nancy Dell&amp;#039;Olio on the show, but said that there was &amp;quot;no chemistry&amp;quot;, and revealed that she had started a fire in the kitchen. He added that Donna Air was a &amp;quot;grafter&amp;quot; and Elen Rives was a &amp;quot;hard worker&amp;quot; but described Carol Smillie as &amp;quot;blinkered&amp;quot; and claimed that former Sun editor Kelvin MacKenzie floundered in the kitchen. &amp;quot;In the middle of service he said, &amp;#039;Marco, the food&amp;#039;s coming back quicker than I can serve it&amp;#039;,&amp;quot; White continued. &amp;quot;He can deliver four million newspapers and was the genius of Fleet Street but he can&amp;#039;t serve 25 diners.&amp;quot; Marco&amp;#039;s Kitchen Burnout starts on Friday at 9pm on ITV1. &amp;gt; Air trains for &amp;#039;Burnout&amp;#039; with Ant &amp;amp; Dec "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
