Tilly Ramsay's new Prime Video cooking show Dish It Out has taken an emotional turn as a late star made a surprise cameo. The first five episodes of the series, fronted by Gordon Ramsay's daughter, premiered on the streaming platform on September 5.
The programme sees the social media star unbox surprise ingredients and tools, revealing recipes sent by celebrity chefs, influencers and loved ones. Over 50 celebrity guests will feature across 32 episodes, including Tilly's parents Gordon and Tana, and 'potato queen' Poppy O'Toole.
In the second episode, available now, dancer and actor Frankie Grande shares his grandmother's secret meatball recipe. Frankie, brother of pop icon Ariana Grande, said: "It is something I have seen being made in my household my entire life, so it was a life ambition for me to learn how to make this." He explained that the recipe requires "three different types of meat" for the perfect flavour.
However, the segment became emotional when Frankie video-called his grandmother, Marjorie 'Nonna' Grande, for advice on how much sugar to add. Marjorie, who beamed on the phone screen to guide her grandson through seasoning the sauce, passed away in June at age 99, making this one of her last ever on-screen appearances.
Marjorie made history as the oldest artist to appear on the Billboard Hot 100, after lending her voice to Ariana's track Ordinary Things. Following her death, her daughter Joan paid tribute in a statement, describing her as "the beloved matriarch of our family" and noting she "passed peacefully in her home".
Dish It Out's first five episodes are now streaming on Prime Video, with remaining episodes released weekly on Fridays.
