TV chef and restaurateur says it is ‘too soon’ to watch high pressure depictions of kitchen life after diagnosis this year

Heston Blumenthal has said he fears that watching the high pressure depictions of kitchen life in the TV series The Bear could trigger a bipolar episode.

The restaurateur and TV chef announced he was diagnosed with the mental health condition earlier this year, after previously receiving a positive assessment for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in 2017.
