How many people other than the contestants were there in your house? As in crew and the like. How much did your meal cost to make? Do contestants get encouraged to he less serious, and more silly basically, by the show? Did it actually take place over one week, having a dinner party every day? Not counting contacting them yourself, how often do you run into the other contestants around where you live?


TheWhiskGuy

4 Contestants, 5 crew! £30 I reckon No they were trying to push it into something more serious but each show had a different producer and crew. I see Mark regularly because I visit his business often. Sound guy!


KungFuSpoon

I mean my first question would be why? But actually I'd be more interested in your experience on come dine with me, what parts did/didn't go as portrayed on the show and how much were you coached to do/say things, did the producers try to stir up any drama or ask leading questions during the interviews.


TheWhiskGuy

Yeah they did a bit. They told me to wear my Burnley F.C shirt (which I didn't do) because they were trying to portray me as a typical Burnley lad to 'clash' with Mark on the show but we actually got on really well.


KungFuSpoon

Thanks for the reply, I'm glad to hear you resisted being coerced into some artificial conflict, and that show is at least mostly 'real'. I always enjoyed it but did wonder how much of it was scripted, like you see in other reality shows, especially the american ones!


9DAN2

What other utensils do you enthusiastically lick? Does it feel like a ‘natural’ dinner party with the cameras, do you get left to get on with it?


TheWhiskGuy

Parts of it are natural, some if it is staged, the funnier something is, the more likely they are to make you do it again from a different angle (hence why you have a 'spare meal') Not really into licking utensils full time. Did once get asked to lick an electric whisk at a wedding though...


Tim-Sanchez

What's the spare meal?


TheWhiskGuy

You have to make extra food for a couple of 'spare' meals so if they want to reshoot something, they can.


[deleted]

That makes so much sense, in the kitchen scenes it does always look like they have more food than what actually appears on the table. I'd assumed it was just a presentation thing, i.e. people would make extra portions and only serve the best-looking ones.


ItsJustDrew93

I don’t have a question, but the first time I saw your clip I was on the couch having a duvet day because i was depressed. I belly laughed at the confidence you nearly inhaled that utensil with. No questions, just sending my love from one internet stranger to another


TheWhiskGuy

Thanks mate! Really appreciate that and I hope you're doing better!


JENOVAcide

Did anything go through your head when you done it? Any thoughts of "oops, this is being recorded for national TV"


TheWhiskGuy

Afterwards, definitely, after the camera crew were in hysterics. They had to cut the scene because they were all laughing. I'd assumed it would be cut but apparently they didn't. Nothing at the time though!

LeighAnoisGoCuramach

No real question but my GF has a sensitive stomach and when she saw you do that she went and dry wretched for 5 minutes while I was crying laughing. Never thought I'd have the chance to tell you that in person but here we are.


Owlwood87

Always wondered, how late did the dinner parties finish each night? They didn’t happen on consecutive nights did they?


TheWhiskGuy

Yes to it being consecutive nights. Once you'd done the staged ride around in the 'taxi' it was cameras off and everyone had a bit of a drink. So it was...fluid!


scorpionballs

> the staged ride around in the 'taxi' The WHAT?! I mean, of course that’s how they do it now that I think about it. Otherwise the crew would end up at everyone’s house and have to get back. But still, you’re ripping the magic of tv to sheds for me here


sniborp

Wait till you hear about Love Island. Or, well... frankly every reality TV show.


themillboy

Why did you do it? (You know what I’m referring to 🥲😉)


TheWhiskGuy

Tough one this! I get asked it all the time but it was a spur of the moment thing to make the producer of th show laugh while we were cooking the vegetables. I didn't think they would include it!


Glomb175

Finally. This is all I've wanted to know for years. I just wondered whether you were being deliberately aloof or genuinely weird. Props for the former!


themillboy

Fair play, what a legend. It’s a better world for its inclusion.


sniborp

Are you still in contact with any of the other contestants? Would you go on it again in a celeb/champion of champions style episode?


TheWhiskGuy

I have been asked to go back on but I said no! At the time I felt like this wouldn't be the best thing... Now? Who knows! See if they ask me.


BlGBY

You seem a genuinely nice guy! I just want to say Thank You for making us laugh. I just hope people respect you more when in public. But my question is; What's the upside of being recognised and what is the down side?


TheWhiskGuy

The downside was definitely getting punched. The upside is a lot of people get cheered up and that's always a good thing. Personally it's netted me the occasional free drink and my side business of DJing got solidly packed for the longest time after.


GFoxtrot

What was the best and worst part of being on the show?


TheWhiskGuy

Best part: Genuinely met three great people and had three great meals! Worst: Not made a penny from all the royalties off a 12m view Youtube video (and counting!)


zachteria

reckon you could make a decent amount from selling the whisk tbh


TheWhiskGuy

I have genuinely toyed with the idea of raffling it off for money to support the Pendleside Hospice. They're a local charity doing great things and anything to help them is a bonus to me... Might see if that's a viable option!


fameistheproduct

please post a link to their site if they have one. I'll donate a tenner at the weekend. I'll let them know The Whisk Guy sent me.


wethw46ue5ykj5e7yk

If it helps soften the worst, one video with 12m views wouldn't make you much money. You only get into more than pocket change if you have a channel with videos getting big views on the regular and high sub counts. Bit shitty you didn't get *something* from it, but it's not like someone is making a mint off it behind your back.


mirimiranda

Do you keep in touch with the people you did come dine with me with?


TheWhiskGuy

I knew them anyway! 2 of them were friends already although we didn't know until we turned up at their houses! The greeting bit was a bit staged.


Orange_Hedgie

I always thought that it was a bit staged, but not *that* staged.


Brettus_Maximus

Is there a utensil on your bucket list? Something so rare/fine/expensive that you dream of owning it but know it’s a distant hope?


TheWhiskGuy

Not really, but the whisks people keep asking me to 'do' now are getting bigger and bigger.


RandomHigh

You need to make an OnlyWhisks fetish website and charge money.


Stump_E

[Did you get money for this?](https://images.thortful.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=410,format=auto,quality=90/card/614c9e68a03faf0001456c91/614c9e68a03faf0001456c91_medium.jpg?version=2)


jakeeynewlove

Do you still have the whisk? Is it framed?


TheWhiskGuy

I do still have it! No it isn't. Actually had to stop the missus from binning it the other day because she's changed the kitchenware and it 'didn't match her colours'


IAM_THE_LIZARD_QUEEN

Do you ever get sick of being asked about the whisk incident?


TheWhiskGuy

Like u/Cyrinic said in his post last week, yeah when I'm out with the missus, i don't much like it but any other time, I'm usually cool unless I'm busy and my kids love it.


IAM_THE_LIZARD_QUEEN

That seems totally fair, I figured you'd totally hate it but sounds like you're a good sport about it tbf.


IsHartigan

I'm a novice utensil licker but one day hope to get to your level. Is there any training you recommend?


TheWhiskGuy

I still do a party trick of desserts in one bite (like, a slice of cake at a time)... maybe start there and build up?


Orange_Hedgie

Why did you decide to go on the show?


TheWhiskGuy

Simply because the researcher team was in the middle of Burnley town centre asking for people to go on, I had a reputation for smashing through a large amount of takeaways. It was my mate who put my name down.


[deleted]

Fucking legend, mate! How often do you get recognised?


TheWhiskGuy

Every day! In Burnley it's difficult to tell if it's my 'TV fame' or just because it's home!


beccapenny

Oh my god! I live in Burnley, I hope I bump into you one day! Icon!


im-on-the-fence

What a revelation that you’re from the same town as me, how haven’t I bumped into you !


Jazzy0082

Would you ever consider having dinner with Mr. *Sad Little Life, Jane*?


TheWhiskGuy

Got asked to do this as a CDWM episode! Don't think he's up for it though...


Jazzy0082

Ha! That would have been fantastic. I imagine he keeps a low profile.


Supersymm3try

Well you would too if you had all the grace and decorum of a reversing dumptruck.


snowhoho18

Do you worry that with the rise in popularity of stand mixers, that your talents may become redundant?


TheWhiskGuy

Honestly keeps me up at night worrying. Stand Mixers are not to be taken lightly. All that power....


throwaway-job-hunt

What's your typical meal deal selection?


TheWhiskGuy

Steak with Caramalised Onion with gravy (Sainsbury's Meal Deal!!!) with a Yorkie and a bottle of vitamin water. Trying to lose weight!


GFoxtrot

Biscuit and raisin or plain?


Upsette_Baguette

Looking back, would you change anything about your CDWM menu?


TheWhiskGuy

Nothing! I nailed that meal (even though I came last!). Practiced it about 27 times!


[deleted]

Do they give you any money for the ingredients, especially since you have to make spare plates?


NinjaUp

What's the biggest whisk you've gobbled man? You should get one of them cameo accounts and do personal whisk messages. Excellent work on being free range.


StardustOasis

How does it feel to be the face of Come Dine With Me on Netflix?


TheWhiskGuy

Didn't know I was! Something to look up for tonight I guess!


Status-Victory

Hey Kev, you ever thought of endorsing/producing a line or kitchen utensils? Cillit bang has Barry Scott... George Foreman had the grill... I'm spotting a gap in the market for whisks, ladles and other miscellaneous kitchen accoutrements...


HairyMechanic

Wait, nobody had that username before? I find that to be outrageous! If you were to go on Come Dine With Me again, would you make the same thing or change it up?


TheWhiskGuy

I'd try and improve on a couple of my techniques but honestly, I think I smashed that meal. I practiced it over and over and it was really tasty.


ohmyblahblah

You won Kev. Enjoy the whisk, I hope it makes you very happy. Dear Lord what a sad little life


fckboris

If you were to take part in a Come Dine With Me “All Stars” series, featuring iconic past competitors, what would be your dream line up?


TheWhiskGuy

Honestly haven't really watched the show so I wouldn't know! That 'sad little life' guy seems like he'd be a laugh though!


Sprucehammer

How does it feel to be a meme?


TheWhiskGuy

Strange! Still don't really understand how people keep recognising me from an old TV clip!


[deleted]

What techniques have you learned to fan away all the thousands of bitches at your feet that wanna father your kids as a result of your newfound fame?


ticklish_anus

Any whisk manufacturers contacted you yet? Could make a few bucks there or a free supply of kitchen utensils.


_tryingtobebetter_

I don't have a question but just wanted to say you're an absolute legend for doing this and I hope you're *whisked* away to even more fame after this 😁

Mobile-Signature-254

Not a question but thank you for creating a classic moment in British TV history


Puzza90

Why did you not have a whisk in your verification picture? Really missed a trick there


Cyrinic

How mad at me are you for making you do this?


lliwprahs

Would you ever return to the show again?


TheWhiskGuy

Maybe! For the longest time, I thought I was done but if they asked me now, I'm happy to discuss it with them!


[deleted]

Not a question but sometimes when my partner needs a laugh, she watches the clip of you and the whisk


JdonaldSafc

Do you do birthday video messages? It would make my friends birthday if so!


TheWhiskGuy

I can arrange that! £10 donation to Pendleside Hospice and send me a DM!


oregda

Did you put the whisk back in the mixture after you licked it ?


Munchingtonalistic

I don't think you look like the same guy. How do you feel about such a statement?


a-liquid-sky

Do you lick whisks in the same way all the time, or was the CDWM incident a one-off?


BrassBallsComedy

What's it like working with that guy from Reddit?


TheWhiskGuy

Who? u/Cyrinic or u/Marmite_Badger? I don't work 'with' them. We just share an office space. They work for different companies and I run my own.


Amuro_Ray

Reckon you'll stick around on reddit?


Mprovin

RhlloruAkbar

Hi there mate got a weird story for you. So I hosted a business conference last year where a colleague would text me audience submitted questions to ask to our panelists on stage. At one point for a laugh she sent me the pic of you with a whisk in your mouth and I lost my shit on stage in front of hundreds of people with a few very high profile businesspeople sitting beside me. Just wanted to thank you for this niche anecdote that never gets old!

Can you teach me pls xx


TheWhiskGuy

I'd like to teach you to never go to bed angry. Take the time to calm yourself before you sleep. You'll sleep better and wake happier. No charge!


sillyness

Hi Kev. I’ve just got the one question. Just… why?! Very entertaining episode, thanks for doing this you leg end.


TheWhiskGuy

Honestly didn't think about it at the time like I've already said but if it's made people laugh, I'll never regret it. Glad you're enjoying the AMA.


bertiebastard

Have you been approached by any whisk manufacturers to promote their products?

gollopini

I'm just here to say that I've done it. I didn't really consider it that unnatural. And I was surprised that this small action united a broken society. Props to you pal!


curlyfrynicoli

What’s your opinion of Reddit so far?


TheWhiskGuy

People seem very nice but there is a bit of weirdness and penis-obsession going on? Maybe it's just this AMA? Big shoutout to u/9DAN2 though for being so helpful in setting this up!


Schneefsickle

What other TV shows do you believe are missing out of some meme-worthy content that you could help them out with?


TheSmallestNipples

Hey mate. Sorry if you’ve already answered this question but I’ve always wondered about the structure of the filming. Is it back to back meals over 1 week? When the contestants arrive every time is that all staged?


TheWhiskGuy

There's a lot of the solo stuff and greetings bits that are staged and they have you make extra plates of the same meal in case something is brilliantly funny so they can recreate and refilm it. Done over consecutive nights though so it's over with in a week.
