Robert Irvine To Be Replaced From ‘Dinner: Impossible’
Many of you who are faithful watchers of the Food Network program now the infamous Robert Irvine. He has prepared amazing dished and shocked us with his culinary abilities and the meals that he makes – which seem almost impossible for us to even think about trying. It seems though that his stardom will be coming to an abrupt halt due to his false resume.
The star of “Dinner: Impossible” has acknowledged fabricating some of the more fantastic parts of his resume, including having cooked for Britain’s Royal Family and various U.S. presidents. Following the revelations, the network announced it would not renew Irvine’s contract, though it would air the remaining episodes of the current season, the series’ fourth.
“I was wrong to exaggerate in statements related to my experiences in the White House and the Royal Family,” Irvine said in a written statement. “I am truly sorry for misleading people and misstating the facts.” The Food Network said it might revisit its decision at the end of this season, but for now would begin searching for a new host for the series, which challenged Irvine to cook under arduous conditions.
“We rely on the trust that our viewers have in the accuracy of the information we present, and Robert challenged that trust,” the network said in a written release. Irvine, who is from England, first acknowledged the fabrications in a Feb. 17 story in the St. Petersburg Times.
