    ANTHONY Worrall Thompson, the television chef, has been given a police caution after being caught shoplifting cheese and wine from Tesco, it was reported last night.

    Worrall Thompson was filmed by staff at the supermarket in Henley on Thames failing to pay for goods at the self-scan check out machines on five shopping trips between December 22 and January 6.

    Some items were scanned and paid for but others, understood to include cheeses chosen from the deli and bottles of wine, were bagged without being put through the till.

    I think this is a case of Ready, Steady, Crook.

    He was caught between a Roquefort and a Hard place cheddar?

    It's okay - it's a 'disease'.

    After having bought a coffee-maker with his name on, and discovering that it's a crock o'sh1t, I hope they string him up from a lamp-post.

    This wasn't an isolated incident, AWT had (allegedly) shoplifted five times within a 16 day period :eek:

    I'm guessing the bearded cretin has some new book/dvd/tvshow/other piece of consumer crap in the works and just needed a profile boost in advance of it?

    If not then I'm sure he can make hay with this incident regardless.

    It's a box of porridge with a picture of him sitting in the prison canteen on it.

    Knew he was a klepto by the gimp of him. If you ever watch him on the Saturday Kitchen show, he stuffs more things into his pocket than into a Turkey at Christmas. This is probably why he forgot about the CCTV camera in Tesco as he's being getting away with it live on the BBC for years.

    He doesn’t limit his thievery to Tesco either. Has a toffs delicatessen next to his restaurant in Henley. The price of stuff was shocking, an antique used cheese board (or scabby bit of wood to you or me) for £165. We all took pictures of it. The thieving cunat

    Real sign of the times when a starving must take food in order to survive.

    While he could be considered a thief for nicking stuff from Tesco, he's perfectly entitled to charge whatever the hell he likes for his own products - there's nothing illegal about that.

    Tbh, I'd prefer to see Ainsley jailed.

    Percy pepper and Suzy salt indeed.

    ....the stress of his finances may have driven him a bit 'odd'. Been known to happen.

    He's definitely three courses short of a banquet.
