The 31-year-old comedian will spoil his father Michael on the upcoming show celebrating Father's Day (21.06.20)in lockdown, but has warned that his dad will not be entirely pleased with all of his surprises.

He revealed: "I have got lots of presents up my sleeve, none of which I can discuss but many of them will be revealed on the show.

"I have some big surprises some of which he'll like, some of them less so. Some of them he won't like and some of them his neighbours will like even less. You're going to be a pariah in Putney after Father's Day..."

The father-son duo will also take part in a special episode of 'MasterChef' with presenters Gregg Wallace and John Torode.

He explained: "Obviously I have been cooking a lot during lockdown, so when we came up with the idea of this show my first thought was perhaps we can do something with 'MasterChef' and thankfully they've been very up for it. So we're going to do a very special edition of 'Lockdown MasterChef' with Gregg and John.

"Food packages are going to be dropped on our doorstep and we're going to cook a meal and bike them over to Gregg and John and they're going to decide who wins."

However, Michael is worried about how the show will go as he knows he is a terrible cook compared to his wife and three children.

The 80-year-old talent agent said: "Slight problem is that Mrs Whitehall is a brilliant cook, Jack is a brilliant cook, Barney is a brilliant cook, Molly is a brilliant cook.

"I cannot cook anything except for scrambled egg and I can do boiled chicken where you put a chicken in a big thing full of boiling water but apparently you're not allowed to call it boiled chicken, it's poached. Give me a steak and it will come back to you black and completely tasteless and if you cut it open it will be pale grey inside."
