The Best Christmas Food Ever: what can you expect
The celebrity line-up for the ten-episode series is an impressive one. Stars include former Eastenders actress and occasional Loose Women panellist Martine McCutcheon; Strictly Come Dancing Star Debbie McGee; TV presenters Anjellica Bell and Dominic Littlewood; and actor and former I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here winner Christopher Biggins.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with TV Times, Paul revealed his favourite Christmas Day food: 'I’m really looking forward to cooking a turkey. I cook the legs separately to the breast.
'You can turn the turkey legs into proper old-fashioned turkey rolls by filling them with sausage meat, apricots, cranberries and pistachios, rolling them up in tinfoil and baking in an oven. Then you have the two breasts left on the crown, which can be cooked to perfection.'
