LIVERPOOL footie stars are going to prove they can take the heat - by having a Masterchef-style cook off to see who is the best chef.
The competition is between Anfield buddies STEVEN GERRARD, JAMIE CARRAGHER and FERNANDO TORRES, who has got the edge as his nickname is Nando.
The players have even recruited telly's Hell's Kitchen supremo and Michelin star chef MARCO PIERRE WHITE.
October's final will be held in Jamie's city centre sports restaurant, with Marco adding expert comments and post-meal analysis.
And despite there being only a few days left until the team kick-off their Premier League season against Spurs on Sunday, there's only one thing on their minds.
An Anfield insider said: "The lads have all been having a bit of banter.
"Stevie, Carra and Nando are good mates and they agreed to do it as a bit of a laugh.
"They've all been practising hard at home. Stevie keeps joking he's going to whip up a pan of Scouse while Nando and Carra want to do something a little fancy.
"Nando fancies himself as the favourite, he is always cooking at home for his missus and reckons his Spanish dishes will win over Marco and the other diners."
Are money is on Nando.. what do you think?
