Tom Kerridge shares secret he's hiding from wife as she'll 'go mental'
Celebrity chef Tom Kerridge and his wife Beth have been a couple since their fateful meeting in 1997, when she boldly asked him for £3 to cover the cost of a stripper at his mate's birthday party.
Despite facing numerous challenges together, including the gruelling hours spent launching their now-famed eatery The Hand and Flowers in Marlow, there remains one thing Tom refuses to share with his other half.
Speaking to The Guardian, Tom, an ardent Oasis fan, expressed his excitement for the band's upcoming reunion concerts later this year but also shared his concerns – particularly one he's keeping under wraps from Beth.
He admitted: "I had to pay a huge amount of money for the tickets," confessing only they cost "a lot". He added: "I can't divulge because my wife would go mental.
"One, because I had to pay a huge amount of money for the tickets. And two, because it's in September so they might not even be together by then!"
While tickets for the iconic Manchester group's eagerly awaited Wembley Stadium gigs were originally set between £75 and £200, they've skyrocketed on resale platforms like StubHub, fetching up to £8,000 for a pair, reports Gloucestershire Live.
Not only did Tom secure a Michelin star within a year of opening The Hand and Flowers with Beth, but his deep-seated passion for Oasis also saw him clinch one of his most cherished achievements – being crowned the winner of Celebrity Mastermind.
"Oasis was my specialist subject," he revealed to Kate Thornton on her White Wine Question Time podcast. "Two Michelin stars, the first, first pub in the world to ever do it, and Celebrity Mastermind winner!"
Tom shared a hilarious anecdote with Kate about the time one of his musical heroes visited his Buckinghamshire pub while keeping his trademark jacket on during the entire meal. "He's a very funny character," Tom said, reminiscing about the visit.
"He's very full-on. He came to eat one day in the Hand and Flowers, and not once did he never stop being Liam Gallagher.
"He spent the whole lunch with his cagoule on, zipped up to the top. He was drinking espresso martinis right, from the start, all the way through to the end. And when he finished his lunch, he moon-walked into the kitchen to thank all the chefs."
The chef didn't hold back his admiration for the rock icon, telling Kate: "He's actually Liam Gallagher but on steroids! He's twice the Liam Gallagher you ever think he's gonna be."
Tom added: "For me, Liam Gallagher should be Prime Minister. He's one of the great philosophers of our time. He's my leader."

Actor Terence Stamp, who starred in original Superman films, dies aged 87
The Academy Award-nominated actor, who played Kryptonian villain General Zod in Superman and Superman II, died on Sunday. Stamp, who starred as a transgender woman in 1994's The Adventures Of Priscilla, Queen Of The Desert, won a Bafta for his performance. Born in the East End of London in 1938, Stamp rose to acting fame in the 1960s after he won a drama school scholarship. The Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art scholarship led him to the stage, where he acted in repertory theatre and met Michael Caine, who was five years older than him. The pair lived together in a flat in Harley Street while they were both looking for their big break, but they parted ways and lost touch, Stamp previously told The Guardian. He made his film debut in Peter Ustinov's 1962 film adaptation of Herman Melville's Billy Budd and his portrayal of the title character brought an Oscar nomination. Known for his stylish clothes, Stamp famously dated actress Julie Christie, who he performed alongside in the 1967 film Far From The Madding Crowd and was also in a relationship with the model Jean Shrimpton. But, after missing out on the role of James Bond, he fell out of the limelight for a while. It was not until 1978 that he got his most famous role as General Zod and appeared in Superman's 1980 sequel as the same character. He began voice acting and writing books in the late '90s, but also continued acting in films, appearing alongside Tom Cruise in Valkyrie in 2008 and working on movies directed by Tim Burton. Stamp married 29-year-old Elizabeth O'Rourke in 2002 at the age of 64 but the couple divorced six years later. He did not have any children. His film career spanning six decades ended with the 2021 psychological thriller Last Night In Soho. Stamp's death was confirmed in a death notice published online, the Associated Press said.
