Actor Nigel Havers was banned for life from Harvey's restaurant, owned by chef Marco Pierre White, in the early 1990s.

Actor Nigel Havers was banned for life from Harvey's, a restaurant owned and run by chef Marco Pierre White, in the early 1990s. Havers, a Wiltshire resident, is best known for his role as Lord Andrew Lindsay in the 1981 film Chariots of Fire, and for appearing in 1980s films Passage to India and Empire of the Sun. He played Lewis Archer in Coronation Street between 2009 and 2019.

Details of the ban are expected to emerge in a forthcoming BBC series titled The Rise of the Rock Star Chef, which will air for the first time on November 5. The series details the early careers of White, Gordon Ramsay and Heston Blumenthal.

Marco Pierre White shot to fame by winning the first of three Michelin stars by the age of 26, earning a reputation as the culinary world's 'enfant terrible'. Ahead of the series launch, White sat down with The Times newspaper to discuss the show. His wide-ranging interview contains various anecdotes, including remarks on how a feud between White and his then-protégé Ramsay began.

Amongst the stories White shared are details of people outside the culinary world who encountered him in his early days, including Havers.
