Celebrity chef Jason Atherton is banned from driving after being caught speeding in his £150,000 Aston Martin after sexism row and loss of Michelin star

Celebrity chef Jason Atherton has been banned from driving after being caught speeding in his £150,000 Aston Martin.
The restaurateur, who has been embroiled in a sexism row and also recently lost his Michelin star at his flagship eatery, was clocked driving the luxury SUV at 26mph in a 20mph zone in Putney, west London on August 23, 2024.
Atherton, 53, who was executive chef at Gordon Ramsay 's Michelin-starred Maze until 2010 before kickstarting his TV career, has racked up 12 points thanks to three separate speeding offences.
He was handed a six-month driving ban and ordered to pay more than £1,000 in fines and costs at Lavender Hill Magistrates' Court in Clapham on Thursday.
'The defendant currently has nine points on his licence for three speeding matters,' said Sarah Hill, prosecuting. 'The dates of the offences are September 10 2022, February 25 2024 and March 12 2024.'
Ruth Harris, representing Atherton, said the previous offences 'related to three matters in which he had received the mandatory minimum three points for driving within 10mph of the limit'.
She added: 'At least two of them, possibly the third, were just over 20mph in a 20mph zone.
'He's the only driver in his household, he shares a home with his wife and three children - he works six days a week.
'His morning routine where he cooks breakfast with his family and then takes the children to school is the only quality time - intense quality time - he can have with his family.
'He works late, often too late to get the tube home, and always too late to comfortably take the tube home. On his precious day off he is the only one who drives.'
Ms Harris said the circumstances constituted 'hardship' but did not 'cross the bar into exceptional hardship'.
Atherton was ordered to pay a total of £1,042, comprising of a £666 fine, £266 surcharge and £110 towards costs, having admitted exceeding the speed limit.
It is the latest blow for the star after he got caught up in a row prompted by his claim that he 'doesn't really' see sexism in professional kitchens.
Furious female chefs who say they have experienced rampant sexism in the male-dominated industry hit back at the Michelin-starred restaurateur's comments in February - with one telling FEMAIL the extreme measures she has taken in her career to avoid unwanted attention from her male peers.
Mursal Saiq, who chef and founder of Cue Point Afghan BBQ based in Jujus Bar and Stage in east London, said she has deliberately worn 'frumpy' clothes while pitching business ideas to men, for fear of leering eyes and in a bid to be taken seriously as a chef.
Her comments come as 70 female chefs, including Great British Bake Off winner Candice Brown and 'queen of potatoes' Poppy O'Toole hit back at 53-year-old Atherton's inflammatory comments.
It comes after Atherton's opulent City Social located in City of London lost its coveted Michelin star in February

The Sheffield-born restaurant owner, who has since claimed his comments were 'taken out of context', told The Times he felt that there was 'too much focus' on the issue of sexism within professional kitchens.
In a post on Instagram the following day, Atherton said he does not condone sexism and insisted many of the senior positions in his restaurant empire are held by women.
Nonetheless the interview has left some women in the industry 'fuming', sparking a #MeToo-style movement as they signed an open letter to Atherton.
Abe, previous contestant on Great British Menu, chef at The Pem and author of A Woman's Place is in the Kitchen, signed the letter, published in the Telegraph, in which they said Atherton's comments had 'outraged' them.
Discussing Atherton's remarks, Abe told the publication: 'It's insulting and painful. It's so hard to speak out because there are so many powerful male chefs that you daren't speak against. But now, luckily, there are 70 women in this WhatsApp group... This feels like our #MeToo movement, in some way.'
The letter further clarified the groups experiences, with a section reading: 'Sexism has been and remains a pervasive issue in our industry, shaping the culture of our kitchens in ways that diminish the potential and contributions of countless talented women'.
The letter was also signed by Dara Klein of Tiella, celebrity chef and Saturday Kitchen regular Anna Haugh, and Romy Gill.
Sharing a snippet of the letter on her Instagram account, Abe said: 'Let's work for a fairer future, a diverse workplace is a happy workplace.'
Her Instagram post also featured a screenshot from a WhatsApp chat in which Abe said she was 'fuming' and Klein sarcastically said of Atherton's comments: 'Wow, not inflammatory or biased at all.'
Responding to the row, Cue Point chef and founder Mursal Saiq, told Femail that misogyny in the industry is so rife that she's self-financed her business to avoid the distressing work environments that men can create.
Saiq said: 'As a female chef and female founder, my biggest... struggles are pitching, and just trying to do the same things that men are doing, [with] the same exact model, same investors, and same restaurateurs.
'When you're a woman, and when you're a single woman, it seems to also mean that there's an extra caveat that "you should sleep with me and then I will give you what you want".
'It's becoming way too much, it's becoming a constant, and it's one of the reasons I've been self-financed for so long... it's those old school mentalities that have not left or changed, people just pretend they have, but they really haven't.'
To avoid unwanted attention in pitching meetings, Saiq would alter her appearance by wearing 'frumpy clothes' and 'not putting make up on just so I could get my pitch meeting through'.
She added: 'Then, what some people would do, they would pretend to be interested, or even if they are interested, they would make you come to multiple meetings to just see you and... potentially be a creep. So, you're just totally messed around.'
The chef concluded: 'As a founder in my own kitchen, I feel comfortable, but I do not feel comfortable in the larger industry at all.'
The open letter also raised concerns about awards bodies, claiming that the winners and categories do not fairly represent female talent.
Responding to the backlash, Atherton released a lengthy statement to his Instagram account to 'put the record straight'.
He wrote: 'I do not condone sexism in the industry or anywhere. A high per cent of our staff are women. Some of our most senior positions are held by women.
'My family is all women except for me - my wife and three young growing daughters, so sexism couldn't be further from my worldview.'
He added that he had been caught 'off guard' by the sexism question, and that his response had been 'taken out of context'.
Atherton continued: 'I didn't feel it was my place to answer that question myself and tried to move onto another topic, by simply saying I hadn't witnessed any sexism, however those few comments have been taken out of context and used in the headline.
'And regarding my quote on moving on from the past, that was about negativity in the industry, not sexism.
'I do generally believe our industry has moved on a lot in the last decade. I simply meant we are all working hard to make it a much better place. Of course nothing is perfect in life.'
When asked whether women still experience sexism in kitchens today, he had replied: 'No, not really. I've not seen it. Any industry has its ups and downs. I think there's way too much focus on our industry because of that.
'In the past, the hours have been long. It's been brutal, but that's behind us. But that [sexism] was also in journalism, it was also in fashion. It wasn't just our industry. It was society in general.
'I think there's too much focus on the negative side of our industry, rather than what is great like the fact that you can be any gender now in our industry and flourish.'
Earlier in February, Atherton's opulent City Social located in City of London lost its coveted Michelin star.
The Sheffield-born celebrity chef secured the accolade for the upmarket dining spot, which boasts panoramic skyline views of the city, within six months of its opening in 2014.
However, it was revealed that City Social is no longer in possession of the star in the Michelin Guide Great Britain and Ireland 2025.
The guide recognises some of the best restaurants in the world by awarding up to three of its prestigious stars - and can make or break reputations.
It's the second blow for the chef who also shut his Pollen Street Social restaurant last year after a 14-year run.
At the time of its closure, Atherton said: 'The London dining scene is fast-paced, and diners are looking for something a little different,' according to The Caterer.
Atherton was also accused of 'bullying' young chefs in a BBC2 cookery show, The Chefs' Brigade, in 2019.
The chef admitted to being incandescent with rage during filming after his young team served food late and plated dishes badly in a Norwegian cookery challenge.
Viewers watching the second episode of the programme, which aimed to unearth hidden talent working in the UK food industry, branded Atherton a 'bullying b******' and said it was hard to believe such shouting in the kitchen was still acceptable.

Doctor warns of 'highly toxic' effect of popular natural remedy - after it puts toddler in a coma

Ingesting tea tree oil could result in life-threatening organ damage, seizures and even a coma, a GP has warned. According to Dr Sermed Mezher, a UK based doctor, swallowing tiny amounts of the essential oil can result in serious poisoning 'within a minute'. In an Instagram video that has so far been viewed over 2.1million times, Dr Mezher explained the risks in response to a video of a young boy who ended up in a coma after swallowing it. Dr Mezher said: 'Swallowing tea tree oil can be highly toxic due to its potent chemical composition, which includes terpinen-4-ol, cineole, and other volatile compounds.' Terpinen-4-ol is the most abundant compound in tea tree oil—extracted from the Melaleuca alternifolia tree—which posses antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties. However when ingested, the oil can rapidly affect the nervous system, leading to drowsiness, loss of coordination and seizures. In 2022 alone, the US poison control centre treated more than 2,200 cases of toxicity linked to tea tree oil. 'One of them was a 23-month-old boy who drank just 10mls which put him in a coma for five hours until he thankfully recovered,' Dr Mezher explained. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sermed Mezher (@drsermedmezher) He added that its supposed benefits for skin health may also be bogus. 'Tree oil has been sold as a miracle cure to multiple skin conditions, and yet there's very little evidence that it works,' he said. A 2023 study found that tea tree oil has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that helped treat teenage and adult acne—though researchers cautioned it was not possible to draw conclusions on its safety. The poison control centre treated twice as many cases of toxicity caused by tea tree oil compared to any other essential oil, including cinnamon, clove and eucalyptus oil. 'I don't know about you, but I am not keeping this at home,' Dr Mezher cautioned. As well as attacking the nervous system, ingesting the 'horrifically toxic' product can also irritate the gastrointestinal tract, causing nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. 'Tea tree oil is also harsh on the liver,' Dr Mezher added. 'The body struggles to metabolise its toxic components, potentially leading to organ damage with repeated or high-dose exposure.' 'Because tea tree oil absorbs quickly into the bloodstream, poisoning symptoms can appear within minutes to a few hours. 'If ingestion occurs, immediate medical attention is essential to prevent serious complications.' The NHS warns against trying to make someone who has swallowed something poisonous and is unconscious sick, and recommends instead putting them in the recovery position until an ambulance arrives. Tea tree oil, a common ingredient in many skincare products, has previously been linked to a number of superbug infections including MRSA—a type of bacteria that is resistant to treatment and causes life-threatening infection. US scientists discovered that repeated low-dose use of the essential oil made the MRSA bacteria, as well as and salmonella, more resistant to antibiotics. Professor David McDowell, from the University of Ulster, warned that people who use tea tree oil on their skin repeatedly to treat acne, could be 'stressing' the bacteria on the skin rather than killing it—increasing their resistance to antibiotics. 'Although tea tree oil may be an effective antimicrobial agent when appropriately used at high concentrations, its application at low concentrations may contribute to the development of antibiotic resistance in human pathogens,' he warned.

White Brits will be a minority in the UK within the next 40 years, report claims

White Brits will become a minority race in the UK population within the next 40 years, a new report has claimed. A study into birth rates and migration levels has predicted that white British people will make up only 33.7 per cent of the population by the end of the century. The research conducted by Professor Matt Goodwin of Buckingham University says the projected change will come in phases: first falling from the current level of 73 per cent to 57 per cent by 2050, then into the minority levels by 2063. Professor Goodwin's report also suggests significant changes for foreign-born citizens and second-generation immigrants, who currently make up less than 20 per cent of the population. These groups, the report says, will comprise 33.5 per cent of the UK's population in the next 25 years. It also predicts a near three-times increase in the number of Muslims living in the UK, suggesting that almost one in five people living in Britain will be followers of Islam by the end of the century. By the year 2100, the report expects 60 per cent of people living in the UK to have at least have one immigrant parent. Professor Goodwin said his research, which was based on Office for National Statistics and census data, will 'spark anxiety, concern and political opposition' among voters who wish to 'maintain the culture of the traditional majority'. He added: 'By the end of the current century, most of the people on these islands will not be able to trace their roots in this country back more than one or two generations. 'This raises enormous questions about the capacity of our country and leaders to unify people around a shared sense of identity, values, ways of life, and culture, and avoid the very real risk of us becoming what Sir Keir Starmer referred to in May as "an island of strangers".' In the report titled 'Demographic Change and the Future of the United Kingdom', Professor Goodwin also warned of the UK's ability to 'absorb and manage this scale of demographic change'. He said: 'What these projections show is that the UK is currently on course to experience enormous and historically unprecedented changes in the composition of its population.' Professor Goodwin's projections were based on non-white ethnic groups having a higher fertility rate until the end of the century. The UK- born fertility rate used was 1.39 for those born in the UK , 1.97 for foreign-born people, for Muslims it was 2.35, and for non-Muslims 1.54. The report comes just days after 1,200 migrants crossed the Channel to the UK in what was labelled 'a day of shame '. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer even faced criticism from one of his own ministers who said control of Britain's borders had been lost as a surge in dinghy crossings overwhelmed French and UK border patrol vessels. The latest Home Office figures show that 1,194 migrants arrived in 18 boats, bringing the provisional annual total so far to 14,811. This is 42 per cent higher than the 10,448 at the same point last year and 95 per cent up from the same point in 2023, 7,610. It is still lower than the highest daily total of 1,305 arrivals since data began in 2018, which was recorded on September 3, 2022. But the total of arrivals for the year, 14,811, is the highest ever recorded for the first five months of a year since data was first recorded on Channel crossings in 2018. It has also surpassed the highest total recorded for the first six months of the year, which was previously 13,489 on June 30 last year - and n 2024 the number of arrivals did not reach more than 14,000 until July 9, reaching 14,058. At Gravelines in northern France, more than half a dozen French police officers stood by and watched as migrants waded into the sea and scrambled on to an inflatable boat. French authorities said they rescued 184 people. One of Sir Keir's senior cabinet ministers admitted the scenes were 'pretty shocking' as he said the UK had 'lost control of its borders over the last five years'. Defence Secretary John Healey told Sky News that the latest crossings revealed a 'really big problem' - but insisted there was pressure being put on France for better co-operation and crackdowns ahead. Britain had agreed a deal in 2023 to pay France £480million over three years to stop the crossings, including £175million in the current financial year – more than £480,000 per day. Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp branded the latest Channel scenes 'a disgrace but sadly entirely expected' and 'a day of shame for the Labour Government'. He added: 'It's a shameful failure by the French to discharge their duties to stop illegal migration. The French are failing to stop these crossings by illegal immigrants. 'Over a thousand illegal immigrants in a single day, boats flooding the Channel, Border Force stretched beyond breaking point, and even fishing vessels drafted in because our maritime rescue services are overwhelmed.' And Richard Tice MP, deputy leader of Reform UK, said: 'It looks like we pay hundreds of millions to give French police officers photography lessons because they are certainly not providing any security. Frankly, the Government should be suing the French for our money back.' At least 18 migrant boats were seen leaving the French coast on Sunday, June 1, carrying more than 1,000 people - exceeding the previous daily record for 2025 of 825, set earlier last month. Mr Healey added: 'Pretty shocking, those scenes [on Sunday]. The truth is, Britain's lost control of its borders over the last five years. 'The last government last year left an asylum system in chaos and record levels of immigration. 'But I think that [Sunday] tells us a really big problem which is that you've got French police unable to intervene to intervene and intercept the boats when they are in shallow water. 'We saw the smugglers launching elsewhere and coming round like a taxi to pick them up.' Mr Healey insisted there was 'new co-operation' with the French suggesting their officials would intervene in the water. When asked whether he was 'hacked off' with France for not doing so now, Mr Healey said: 'They are not doing it, but we've got the agreement that they will change the way they work. 'Our concentration now is to push them to get that into operation so they can intercept these smugglers and stop these people in the boats, not just on the shore.'

Love Island star's secret connection to previous finalist is revealed ahead of their arrival in the villa

Love Island has confirmed the full line-up of contestants set to enter the villa for the 12th series on June 9, for another season of love triangles, bedroom trysts and messy breakups. After joining the popular dating series in January 2023, Maya Jama will once again be at the helm, as the ITV2 show celebrates a decade on screens and promises to have 'more twists and turns than ever before' in honour of the anniversary. This year's crop of hopefuls include a Declan Rice body double, a firebreather and a Maura Higgins lookalike. But one of the new Islanders may have an edge on his fellow castmates, as he boasts a connection to a previous finalist. According to The Sun, Dejon Noel-Williams is pals with 2023 star Tyrique Hyde, who made it all the way to the final with then-girlfriend Ella Thomas. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Dejon, who plays football semi-professionally alongside his job as a personal trainer, is also the son of former Premier League striker Gifton. Ex-Watford and Stoke striker Gifton, 45, began his professional football career in 1996 and last played for Codicote in 2017 before retiring. And during his time at Watford from 1996 to 2003, he was teammates with none other than Micah Hyde, who is the father of Tyrique. The two stars played together at the club and looked to have been good friends, with their sons Dejon and Tyrique being the same age. The two boys also both followed in their fathers' footsteps by becoming footballers themselves. And in his role as a personal trainer, Dejon also counts Tyrique as one of his clients, with the duo often sharing videos of them working out at the gym together. Ahead of his villa entrance, Dejon revealed that he 'met all kinds of famous people' because of his footballing father and even remarked on a meeting with David Beckham. He said: 'When I was younger it was weird because he was just my dad, but we'd go to a game and fans were asking for photos. I've met David Beckham, he was really nice.' Dejon, from London, boasts 11,000 followers on social media thanks in part to his regular shirtless gym snaps and in 2021, represented the Grenada national football team. His bio reads: 'I go beyond the gym -helping you build Strength, Confidence & Discipline for life.' Asked what he was looking for in a girl in the villa, he said he wanted someone who 'is beautiful on the inside and out, looks after themselves and is healthy'. Tyrique shot to fame on the 2023 series with his romance with Ella being heavily tested with some dramatic ups and downs. They exited the villa together, but shortly after announced they'd split in November 2023, before trying to give it another go. But, in February 2024, MailOnline exclusively revealed Ella and Tyrique had parted ways permanently - after six months as a couple. A source told MailOnline: 'Ella and Tyrique have decided it's time to go their separate ways. 'They have such love for each other, but they often struggle to get along and as viewers saw in the villa, they're always arguing.' Tyrique and Ella exited the villa together, but shortly after announced they'd split in November 2023, before trying to give it another go, before parting ways permanently in February last year (pictured in September 2023) Meanwhile, Dejon is not the only footballing connection in the upcoming series, as fans of the lower leagues may have spotted a star dubbed 'The Surrey Zidane'. Harry Cooksley, 29, is a midfielder for Southern League Premier South side Farnham Town, while also working as a gold trader and model. But more interestingly, his pastimes include being a body double for Arsenal and England star Declan Rice. Harry revealed: 'So when he does a shoot, any body close ups will actually be me.
