WRESTLING stars were set to battle it out in the kitchen today in the popular TV programme Ready, Steady Cook.

Worcester brawler Jonny "the Body" Stallard will be up against one of his main rivals Matthew "Mad Dog" Powell during a culinary championship bout at 4.30pm on BBC2.

The show, which was filmed in November, sees Mr Stallard teamed up with Irish chef Paul Rankin, in a 20-minute cooking contest.
