Overview
- Coverage on Thursday highlights how Kerridge and his wife Beth invested their savings to buy The Hand & Flowers in Marlow in 2005 and turned it into a two‑Michelin‑star pub.
- Profiles revisited Kerridge’s past late‑night drinking, which he has described as extreme and has publicly detailed in interviews with The Guardian and podcasts.
- Kerridge says he stopped drinking without formal treatment and replaced alcohol with exercise and structured routines such as swimming, running and gym work.
- He credits a self-devised low‑carb, higher‑protein ‘dopamine diet’ with losing about 11 stone over three years, a claim presented on his website and in recent interviews.
- The renewed publicity around his personal story and ITV show reinforces his media brand and invites wider discussion of kitchen pressure, self‑care choices and unverified diet claims.
