Good Mood Food host Ainsley Harriott may be one of Britain’s best-loved TV chefs, but he once had a “hit” placed on him.
The chef, 64, apparently popped up on a dark web hitman-for-hire service three years ago.
Metro said at the time that an unidentified person had tried to use the service to have Ainsley offed.
However, luckily for the cook it turned out that the website wasn’t real.

“As a result, someone had uploaded that picture of Ainsley Harriott as a joke, it was one of the first pictures we saw,” he explained.
