00:00Ripping your pants on camera is one thing, but finding a random item in your bra? Yeah,
00:05these Celebrity Chef wardrobe malfunctions are enough to make the most serious of us laugh.
00:11Television personality Carla Hall could teach a masterclass on how to not take yourself too
00:15seriously. This was expertly demonstrated in 2018 when she hosted the James Beard Awards.
00:21For the occasion, Hall wore two different outfits on stage,
00:24and one of those ensembles proved to be a challenge for her. Within minutes of the show
00:29opening, Hall walked on stage, planning to playfully waltz past the long line of
00:33James Beard-affiliated chefs who stood behind the podium. After just a few steps,
00:38the toe of her high-heel shoe caught the stretch of material of her blue wide-legged pants and
00:43tripped her. Hall revisited the less-than-graceful moment with co-hosts Michael Simon and Clinton
00:49Kelly on The Chew.
00:51I said, okay, I may be 54, but you need to fall like a two-year-old."
00:54In her decades-long television career,
00:59Rachael Ray has endeared audiences with her quirky authenticity.
01:03Ray's ability to let her hair down made it easier to laugh it off when she found
01:06herself revealing a little more of herself than she intended in 2017.
01:11Ray was introducing musical guest Jack Savaretti when her black blouse took an
01:16unscheduled turn by coming undone on its own and revealing her undergarments.
01:21Ray played up the snafu by standing before the crowd with her top still open and her black bra
01:25visible.
01:27I should've put the bigger d---- in today! That's hilarious!"
01:32So Savaretti, still at Ray's side with his guitar, presumably played his song shortly after.
01:38In 2003, a baby-faced Jamie Oliver filmed an episode of his series Oliver's Twist
01:44wearing a not-so-innocent shirt. On the Season 2 episode, titled Jamie and the Soccer Girls,
01:50Oliver explained that he was going to cook for his neighbor's soccer team
01:53while wearing a green crew-neck shirt with the words,
01:56"'Tamil Tigers' on the front."
01:58There's a chance that Oliver thought the Tamil Tigers were a sports team,
02:02but unfortunately, that's not the case.
02:04The Tamil Tigers are a Sri Lankan rebel group that killed thousands of people and forcibly
02:09recruited child soldiers to carry out their atrocities. The Tamil Tigers, or the Liberation
02:14Tigers of Tamil Elam, formed in 1976 and have been banned from distributing propaganda in
02:20many countries, including Canada, the United States, Australia, and the UK, Oliver's native
02:26land. When the episode aired, over a dozen complaint calls and emails came in from viewers
02:31in Australia and New Zealand, and local media outlets also picked up the story.
02:36Oliver and his team swiftly apologized, insisting the chef had no knowledge of the terrorist
02:41group's existence, let alone their violent crimes. Oliver had gotten the T-shirt in America,
02:45and meant no harm by wearing it on his show. In reruns of the episode,
02:49the lettering on Oliver's problematic shirt is blurred out.
02:53Over the years, James Martin, British TV chef of Saturday Kitchen and Saturday Morning fame,
02:58has been a regular on cooking segments of daytime talk show This Morning. Anyone who
03:02has caught a few clips of Martin's live cooking demos knows there's rarely a dull moment with
03:07this guy. On an October 2021 episode, Martin popped into the studio kitchen to share some
03:12of his favorite butters and whip up a cake topped with miso fudge. That's when Martin's
03:16screentime hit a bit of a snag.
03:19I've just split my trousers, I know that.
03:22Oh, you have?
03:23I have genuinely split my trousers. I need to stop eating.
03:27What?
03:28Here, Martin showed us one of the downfalls of being a celebrity chef. It's hard enough to not
03:33eat too much, and even more difficult when you're the one making the delicious food.
03:37That wasn't the only time Martin's wardrobe impacted his cooking. On a September 2024
03:42episode of Saturday Morning, Martin and his assistant, Michelin-starred chef Galton Blackiston,
03:47were hard at work on a classic strawberry sponge. A lot of things were happening at once,
03:52setting the stage for a wardrobe mishap on Martin's part.
03:55When it came time to mix sifted flour into the butter, multitasking Martin had forgotten to
04:00remove the bracelets on his wrist before plunging it into the batter in front of fellow chefs
04:04Blackiston and Judy Joo.
04:07Oh, look at your bracelets.
04:08Don't worry about sticking the bracelets.
04:09No, look at the bracelets.
04:10Judy, you're not supposed to say that.
04:13Despite Martin's less-than-sanitary practices, the sponge came out looking quite nice.
04:18As the longtime host of PBS' local program Check, Please! South Florida,
04:23chef Michelle Bernstein is a regular on camera. The weekly show highlights notable restaurants
04:28in the region as well as a cooking demonstration by the James Beard award-winning chef. In 2014,
04:33as Bernstein stood in front of the camera to film a take in the studio kitchen,
04:38an out-of-the-ordinary wardrobe malfunction caused some confusion.
04:42Off-screen, a production member's voice is heard asking Bernstein
04:45what is in the breast pockets of her buttoned-down blouse,
04:48an apparent reference to the camera picking up some kind of protrusion.
04:52As Bernstein patted down her blouse, she recognized there was something off about her outfit.
04:58It wasn't in my pocket. I was hiding it from my son and I stuck it in my bra.
05:03Bernstein admitted she was embarrassed, yet her lighthearted wardrobe glitch
05:07shed a glimmer of light on the more ordinary aspects of a star chef's lifestyle.
05:12Guy Fieri has filmed no less than 50 seasons of Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives,
05:17but only once in all that time has the food star had a wardrobe malfunction.
05:21It happened in 2017, when Fieri visited Saigon Noodle & Grill in Orlando, Florida.
05:26On Season 26, Episode 13, Fieri pulled into Orlando's milk district to visit the authentic
05:32Vietnamese restaurant, yet his poor choice of T-shirt wound up getting blurred by Food Network
05:37once the episode aired. Fieri, a fierce champion of graphic tees, wore a shirt with a machine gun
05:42on the front, accompanied by the words, culinary gangsta. Fieri may have failed to read the room
05:48on a larger scale. For one, Vietnam has had a troubled history with military violence,
05:52so the idea of flaunting an assault rifle on one's shirt in that scenario lacks taste.
05:57It could also be said that Fieri's T-shirt trivialized gun violence at a time when
06:02America's grappling with the issue was steadily going from bad to worse.
06:05At least, Food Network certainly thought so.
06:08The Late Late Show with James Corden was never short on antics, but Gordon Ramsay gave viewers
06:14a little extra during a treadmill battle with the British talk show host in 2019.
06:18Ramsay had previously tried to convince Corden to run the Los Angeles Marathon with him,
06:23and Corden used their exchange as inspiration for a game called
06:26Tread Lightly. On side-by-side treadmills, the pair answered questions about each other's areas
06:31of expertise. Corden was quizzed on cooking, and Ramsay was quizzed on boy bands. Corden's
06:36treadmill was programmed to control the speed of Ramsay's treadmill and vice versa.
06:40When one player got a question wrong, the other upped the speed and or incline of his treadmill.
06:46Ramsay's boy band knowledge was very weak,
06:48so he ran a lot and his pants were not up for the challenge.
06:53I ripped my f-----g pants! What?!
06:59Viewers didn't see much of the damage, but once the treadmill stopped,
07:03Corden took a long look at the back of Ramsay's wardrobe failure. The show must go on.
