A UK celebrity chef has apologised after he was caught shoplifting cheese and wine from a chain supermarket.
Sixty-year-old Antony Worrall of Ready Steady Cook fame was cautioned by police after he was caught stealing from a Tesco store in Oxfordshire at a self-service check out, reported Ninemsn.
In a statement the chef who also appeared in I'm A Celebrity...� Get� Me Out of Here! on his website Worrall apologised for his "stupid" and "irresponsible" actions.
"I am, of course, devastated for my family and friends, whom I've let down, and will seek the treatment that is clearly needed," the statement said.
"I am not the first and I certainly won't be the last person to do something without rhyme or reason - what went through my head, only time will tell."Of course, I must also apologise sincerely to Tesco, with whom I've had a long and genuine working relationship, and to all the staff at the Henley branch, many of whom I've got to know over the years."
The chef's restaurant business has been hit hard by the recession in recent years with his company being placed into receivership and four restaurants closing their doors in 2009.
