This Morning shock as it’s revealed who really cooks the food – and it’s NOT the TV chefs

THIS Morning cook Clodagh McKenna has revealed who really cooks the food shown to viewers.

The “here’s one we made earlier” dish that the celebrity chefs whip out from beneath the counter to save time during the live show is actually made by somebody else.

Clodagh dropped the bombshell on Instagram today when showing off behind-the-scenes on the ITV daytime show.

Clodagh filmed the This Morning kitchen and introduced the members of the production team who make the magic happen.

Among them was Tilly who Clodagh explained was the chef that cooked the dishes they unveil to viewers during the show.

She said: “This is gorgeous Natalie. She makes everything fabulous, and lovely Hannah” before turning to Tilly.

The cook wore an apron and waved, as Clodagh added: “Tilly, the brilliant cook, who actually cooked some pie today!

“So we are making this gorgeous chicken pie. With mushroom and kale, or cabbage. I think we are on at 12:15? See you at 12:15!”

An ITV spokesperson told the Mirror Tilly had helped to make the pre-made pie, whilst Clodagh cooked live on the show.

They said: “all TV shows with a food element will have a food technician that work with the chefs to help prep the ingredients and additional dishes required for a live show and aid with the several versions required throughout the morning…but of course they are the chefs own recipes and the chef of course cook live on the show too when it’s time for their item.

“In this case, Tilly would have helped get the dish ready that was needed at the start of the show to show viewers what dish will look like later.”
