Pete Wicks, who found fame on The Only Way Is Essex, has been left raging after podcast co-host Sam Thompson, of Made In Chelsea fame, told him there's a cafe in London where you can't actually eat anything. When Sam told him this on their Staying Relevant podcast, the 37-year-old was left dumbfounded, wondering what the point is.
"So what do you eat?" Pete asked Sam, and the 32-year-old responded: "Nothing". Pete continued: "So if you go for lunch, you're just as hungry when you leave?" Sam then explained to Pete that you wouldn't be going to this place for lunch, because it's the Jellycat cafe.
In other countries, there's a Jellycat Diner Experience at FAO Schwarz, New York, and the Jellycat Pâtisserie experience on the 5th floor of Galeries Lafayette Paris Haussmann within the FAO Schwarz store.
Sam explained that you'd "go and pick up your burger, but it's your Jellycat burger," but Pete still couldn't grasp "which bit you eat".
"You don't eat anything, it's a toy," Sam continued, which led Pete to fume: "So what's she cooking?"
Things started to sound a little weird when Sam said: "Nothing. She's pretending to cook the toy," but anyone who has seen the Jellycat experiences in action will know how wholesome it is.Pete was baffled about what "the point" was in pretending to cook the Jellycat, wondering why they can't just put it in a bag.
"You coulda just picked the f**ker up and whacked it in your bag," he seethed, saying that the staff pretending to cook something is silly.
"It's the only way you can get it," Sam shared, and Pete couldn't believe you were "forced" to watch it.
Sam then revealed that their producer, Pippa, has been, and also owns around 30 to 40 Jellycats, and that seemed to be the final straw for Pete.
Sam then shared he has two, and Pete raged: "You're an adult. I'm not going to a cafe so I can go and watch someone pretend to cook a toy, so I can take it home and say 'ooh I picked myself up a nice new toy burger today and someone cooked it for me and pretended to put blueberry sauce all over my f**king toy pancake'. What's the point? What is the point?"So, it seems like Pete won't be picking himself a Jellycat up anytime soon, then...
