Celebrities tucked into grub prepared by chef Jamie Oliver on Southend Pier as part of a new TV show set to start tomorrow. 

Jamie and Jimmy's Fight Club, much of which was filmed in the former pierhead cafe on Southend Pier over the past few months, features a celebrity A-list cast list, including Gary Barlow, Gwyneth Paltrow, Alan Carr and Jonathan Ross.

All the celebs are put to the test with viewers being able to see Hollywood A-lister Gwyneth stuffing her cheeks with marshmallows, camp funnyman Alan playing “fig roll roulette” and an Essex cheese complete with spray tan and a vajazzle.

Comedian Alan Carr also rode the Rage rollercoaster at Southend's Adventure Island. 

The show starts Thursday at 9pm on Channel 4.
