Tom Aikens
Headline:
Hot in the kitchen
Synopsis:
It takes a certain woman to be married to a chef. You have to get used to the late hours, the early rising, the hair that comes home at night smelling like a chip pan. If you are Mrs Tom Aikens, as Amber (née Nuttall), the adorable aristocratic PR bunny he married 18 months ago is, you also have to get used to a certain amount of competition on the ladies front.
Take, for example, the dinner the three of us happened to be invited to a few months ago, where Tara Palmer-Tomkinson, the little minx, wriggled and giggled whenever he said anything and almost had to be prised off him when it was time to go. “Yes, that was funny,” Tom recalls in his calm Norfolk monotone. “And yes, I suppose Amber does get a lot of that, but she’s used to it.”
