**London, UK** – Ewan McGregor has confessed to an embarrassing encounter with celebrity chef Delia Smith, revealing he peppered their meeting with profanity due to sheer excitement. The admission came during an appearance on the Dish podcast from Waitrose, alongside his longtime collaborator Charley Boorman. The podcast, hosted by chef Angela Hartnett and BBC 6 Music’s Nick Grimshaw, explored the pair’s culinary adventures, but took a humorous turn when McGregor recounted meeting Smith at a Radio Times event.
“I was so excited to meet her, but I kept swearing,” McGregor confessed. “I didn’t mean to, but I just kept dropping F-bombs all the time… I really let myself down.”
Grimshaw, however, reassured McGregor that Smith, a former majority shareholder at Norwich City football club, likely wouldn’t have been phased. “She won’t mind,” Grimshaw said, “She’s alright, she’s down the football, she hears it all.”
The pair also discussed some of the more challenging dishes they encountered during their “Long Way” series of motorcycle adventures. Boorman recounted a particularly memorable experience in Mongolia: being offered a pot of bubbling yak testicles and entrails by welcoming villagers. He described his own less-than-enthusiastic reaction to the dish, contrasting it with McGregor’s generally more adventurous palate.
McGregor and Boorman’s latest journey, “Long Way Home,” sees them traversing from McGregor’s native Scotland to Boorman’s home in England, taking a scenic route through Scandinavia, the Arctic Circle, and continental Europe, all aboard classic motorcycles.
