Moynalvey rugby star swaps pitch for kitchen

A brand-new series of ‘The Restaurant’ returns with renowned chefs Marco Pierre White and Rachel Allen at the helm as a host of familiar faces prove they have what it takes to be the restaurants head chef tonight at 9pm on Virgin Media One.

The series will see six popular Irish celebrities swap their day jobs for oven gloves, all aiming to grab that important five-star rating starting with Leinster and Ireland Rugby legend, Devin Toner, who pays homage to his late father, Peter, with a menu of nostalgia and finesse tonight. But will the winner of three Six Nations, four European Cups, and seven League Titles, get the star rating he wants?

This year boasts an amazing line up of familiar faces continuing with Virgin Media Television’s and Graham Norton’s ‘Holding’ star, Demi Isaac Oviawe, Dublin GAA Legend, Philly McMahon, broadcaster and social media star, Doireann Garrihy, Olympic silver medallist and world champion rower, Gary O’Donovan and comedian, Deirdre O’Kane. As they cook up a storm in the kitchen, the diners will eat and critique their meal all while guessing who it could be behind the kitchen doors.
