Chef Jamie Oliver Spills and 'Falls' on 'GMA'

By PopEater Staff Posted Mar 25th 2010 12:20PM

Chef Jamie Oliver had some fun over at 'Good Morning America' on Thursday, but he got a little crazy flinging his ingredients and spilled a bunch of oil on the set. Moments later, Oliver took a step back, leaned against the back counter and preceded to fall to the ground. We are pretty sure he was just kidding around though.

Watch the 'GMA' clip and judge for yourself:

Oliver was on 'GMA' to cook up some healthy food while promoting his new TV series, 'Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution,' which premieres March 26 at 8 PM on ABC. The show documents his visit to "the unhealthiest city in the U.S." -- Huntington, West Virginia -- to educate the residents about the food "that's killing America."

After the break, Oliver reconvened to discuss how he's trying to change the way America eats -- one city at a time. He admits he tried to get this show off the ground for five years, but "nothing stuck." Finally, in the last year, he finally got the show off the ground after first lady Michelle Obama started making waves about healthy eating and fighting childhood obesity in the U.S.

Looking back on what he learned during filming, he criticizes school boards for blaming "budget constraints" on why there are large amounts of junk food available to children -- and yet nothing healthy like chicken or salads. "I hope and pray this empowers parents to find the money. The kids deserve this," Oliver adds.

Referring to the show, Oliver says, "It will make you laugh. It will make you cry. And hopefully, it will make you rightfully angry and have a very clear opinion about what the people and especially the parents can do."

I so wanted to like Jessee and when he was on Celebrity Apprentence, I was proud of the way he didn't give personal info out. Now, I am very sad for Sandra and for me, cause we have both been duped.
Sandra needs to know that there are good men in the world and she needs to have faith that she will find someone she deserves.

Yep Palmer,
I think you're right! It's pretty obvious that it's NOT a "fall." This is the very boring British chef that is 'crossing the pond' to save America from it's obesity problem. Give me a big, fat f*cking break!!!

You must have hit your head on your drunkin' fall last night at the bar. Oh sorry, I did'nt mean you had too much to drink......it was the "overhang"(fat belly) that made you fall over

By christine

I think he's great..he's willing to show us that we are not perfect. Our health as a whole is going down the tubes and we an do something about it...its hard to dent..and all you can say is he's borish??? People who don't want to take an honest look at themselves might think that way.

The article says he "preceded to fall.." -- you mean "proceeded," Good idea to check your grammar and spelling if you want to be a writer.

DEFINITELY NOT A REAL FALL. I HAPPEN TO REALLY LIKE JAMIE OLIVER.
I HAVE BEEN WATCHING HIM FOR MANY YEARS. I THINK HE IS GREAT AND I ALSO THINK HE TRULY CARES ABOUT KID'S. AFTER SEEING HIS SHOW,, I AM GLAD MY KID'S VERY RARELY BUY THE SCHOOL LUNCH.
