The TV chef, who opened his first restaurant in London in 1981, used to appear on the BBC's Ready Steady Cook.

Celebrity chef Antony Worrall Thompson says he is not against Covid vaccinations, despite a sign in his pub saying unvaccinated people are welcome.

Mr Worrall Thompson says he will remove any specific reference to the group, but will continue to show a sign to support equality.The sign at the pub, near Henley-on-Thames, says: "We do not discriminate. Race, gender, age, disability, vaccinated or unvaccinated. Everyone equal here. Everyone welcome."

"At the end of the day we've done our time, we've done two years of this, lockdowns and various things and precautions, and I think it's time to move on."Asked if it was irresponsible, he answered: "I don't think it's irresponsible at all. He added: "I agree with people getting vaccinated. I'm not an anti-vaxxer... to me if you don't want to get vaccinated, if you don't want to put chemicals into your body, it has to be your choice."
