Kim Woodburn tried to flirt her way into next week’s episode of Channel 4’s brand new celebrity cooking show.

The 80-year-old from Portsmouth took part in a brand new series which sees ten stars, who are hopeless in the kitchen, take lessons from Michelin starred chef Giorgio Locatell and Michelin-trained chef Poppy O’Toole.

They each create a number of dishes for the panel of professional chefs to taste - and one person is subsequently booted from the show.

In Tuesday’s episode, Kim created a curry dish which Poppy said “doesn’t look appealing”.

Giorgio also described the meal as “slop”, so the TV personality took an attempt at flirting with the Italian chef to change his mind.

Kim said: “I don’t know it happened. I was distracted. No, I do know how it happened. It’s you dear. You are gorgeous dear.

“If I wasn’t married, you and I could make sweet music. Room number three, second floor!”

At the end of the episode, Kim and comedian Paul Chowdhry were in the bottom two - and Kim later got dropped from the cooking school.
