BRAD PITT - PITT AND ANISTON DEFEND BRITISH CHEF

BRAD PITT and JENNIFER ANISTON have stepped in to defend their chef friend JAMIE OLIVER after his restaurant was dismissed by critics.

The Hollywood couple are huge fans of Oliver's "delicious" cooking despite critics describing the British cook's eatery FIFTEEN - where proceeds go to charity - as a "rip-off" in the new Harden's London Restaurant Guide.

Pitt and Aniston say, "We have been fans of Jamie's shows for a long time and his cooking is simply delicious."

Supermodel CLAUDIA SCHIFFER adds, "I ate at Fifteen a couple of months ago with Brad Pitt and Jennifer and can happily say it was one of my top three meals of all time.

"The food, service and all-round dining experience was amazing. I would happily recommend going there to anyone."

According to the guide - Fifteen scored the lowest possible for food - and has been called "amateurish".

"Just because it's a charity, it doesn't give them the right to rip people off."
