Jamie Oliver's trip to Italy has landed him in further controversy after he was shown on TV slitting a lamb's throat while it was still conscious.
In a programme broadcast before the 9pm watershed and watched by many youngsters, the animal was held down as the chef pushed a knife into its neck.
Afterwards the 30-year-old father of two, who has a large number of young fans thanks to series such as Jamie's School Dinners, described the experience as "pretty emotional - pretty hard-core".
He added: "It's a beautiful creature, but it is tasty and we are top of the food chain. A chef who has cooked 2,000 sheep should kill at least one, otherwise you're a fake." :food
