Cindy Crawford was in for a treat this weekend when a certain member of One Direction popped into her house to cook up some dinner.
And if a pop star hunk is ready to get his hands dirty by making a pizza from scratch, which other celebs might be handy in the kitchen?
We round up the top 10 celebs with hidden culinary skills…
10. Amy Adams
You would think that playing a chef in Julia & Julia Amy Adams would have picked up a skill or two. But it would seem her cooking skills before making the film were more than a little embarrassing. ‘I learned how to cut a tomato and an onion properly,’ she told Yahoo news back in 2009. Chopping was difficult before?? Oh dear…
9. Ade Edmondson
Bottom star Ade Edmondson may have been unappealing as messy flatmate Eddie in the early 90s sit-com, but Mr Jennifer Saunders proved he could clean up in the kitchen when he won Celebrity MasterChef earlier this year.
8. Mel & Sue
Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins have a long career involving food. They both appear on Great British Bake off to add extra pressure when the oven timer is close to going off – or to panic when someone slices open their finger. And Sue also teamed up with Giles Coren to investigate eating methods of old. But it was their hit daytime show Light Lunch where they showed off their own cooking skills. Well – guests would make lunch and they would help stir the sauce.
7. Fern Britton
Before This Morning, Fern was the hostess of hit show Ready, Steady, Cook! The blonde even met her husband – chef Phil Vickery – on the show. And he recently confessed he underestimated how much his wife learnt from her time on the show, telling the Daily Express last year: ‘Fern made spaghetti bolognese the other day and the children said to me, “Dad, we’re not being funny but mum’s was much better than yours.”’
6. Scarlett Johansson
Forgetting for a moment that Scar Jo herself looks good enough to eat, the sizzling Hollywood actress has revealed in the past she loves to de-stress through cooking. ‘I like cooking alone – I find it very therapeutic. I put on some music, maybe have a glass of wine, and maybe something like a turkey bolognese or a nice frittata,’ she told InStyle in 2010.
5. David Beckham
Victoria has always said that David is the main chef of the Beckham family. Clearly too afraid to soil her one-of-a-kind wardrobe, hapless Posh is more than happy to let ol’ Golden Balls himself wear the cook’s hat in their home.
4. Harry Styles
He sings, he smoulders, he makes pizza. Harry Styles impressed fans this week when it was revealed he could make a pizza from scratch when he dropped in on Cindy Crawford and her family for an impromptu dinner. How many 1D fans wouldn’t want him to knead some dough in front of them?
3. Jourdan Dunn
She may be a sexy, skinny model, but Jourdan Dunn knows how to fry up a proper meal as well. The dark-haired babe has her own YouTube cooking series, humorously called Well Dunn with Jourdan Dunn. Marvellous.
2. Gok Wan
He might be most famous for touching up the female half of the nation and encouraging them to get their kit off for How To Look Good Naked, but Gok Wan also knows how to rustle up a good dinner. The glasses-wearing fashion expert even had a TV show called Gok Cooks Chinese on Channel 4 where he shared his culinary skills.
1. Gwyneth Paltrow
The queen of cooking, Gwyneth has built an empire away from her acting career with her culinary skills. Her collection of cook books and her Goop website tell fans how to make the most delicious and nutritious meals ever created. Good work Gwynnie!
