The Jabberwocky

Phil Vickery is a chef, presenter and cookery book author and has been a part of the ‘This Morning’ family for over 11 years. He is regarded as one of Britain’s favourite chefs.

Phil is a chef trained to the highest standards. He began his career as a Commis Chef at The Burlington Hotel on Folkestone seafront. He worked his way up the kitchen ranks and on his journey has worked in the very smart Michael’s Nook hotel in Grasmere, Cumbria, the Michelin starred Gravetye Manor in East Grinstead and Ian McAndrew’s Michelin starred restaurant ‘74’. He went on to become Head Chef at The Castle hotel in Taunton, where he won a Michelin star, 4 Rosettes in the ‘AA guide’ and ‘The Good Food Guide’ Restaurant of the Year among many other accolades.

John became a familiar face to TV audiences back in 1996 as the resident chef on ITV1's This Morning with Richard and Judy; a role in which he continued for four years. Since 2004 John has paired up with Gregg Wallace, handing out feedback, criticism and support to hundreds of hopefuls aiming to be crowned MasterChef (or indeed Celebrity MasterChef) and is also the judge and co-host of CBBC's Junior MasterChef. In 2011 John & Gregg also teamed up to guest host Have I Got News For You for BBC1. They are the first ever duo to co-host the satirical current affairs quiz.

John's TV programmes regularly attract a huge audience. Indeed MasterChef's popularity has placed John & Gregg on the front cover of several magazines including the Radio Times and spawned three cookbooks to date (namely The MasterChef Cookbook, MasterChef At Home & MasterChef Kitchen Bible) and there's even an iPhone app for that! Sainsbury's Magazine readers even voted MasterChef as the Top TV Food Show of the Decade and it has been included in the Top Ten list of the most Sky Plussed shows of the year. John has also been a hit on Good Food (formerly UKTV Food). He teamed up with comedian Hardeep Singh Kohli for a 10-part series exploring the diverse culinary communities of multicultural Britain. New British Kitchen — Torode and Hardeep's Tour aired in May 2008 on UKTV Food. Within the first week the show was already proving a real success, overtaking the rest of the channel's ratings.

A well-known food writer, John regularly contributes to olive and BBC Good Food magazines, as well as Radio Times and Red magazine and has supplied numerous articles for the Guardian, Mail and Observer newspapers. John and his MasterChef co-host are featured in the Daily Mail Weekend supplement every Saturday with their column John & Gregg's Side Dish.
