COLDPLAY - MARTIN'S COOKING DISASTER

MARTIN'S COOKING DISASTER

COLDPLAY frontman CHRIS MARTIN is reluctant to cook for his family - because his last two attempts have ended in disaster.
The rocker has two children - Apple, four, and Moses, two - with actress wife Gwyneth Paltrow.
But Martin admits he is not particularly domesticated and his culinary skills are his biggest failing - because every time he cooks, the fire brigade turns up outside his house.
He says, "Last year, in an attempt to impress my family, I tried to cook some fish and peas, but I forgot to turn on the vent. And the thing about our fire alarm is that it's connected to the fire station.
"So the fire engine comes around, and I was in a panic. I said, 'Guys, I'm sorry. There's no fire'.
"Then, two months later, I said, 'Right - I'm gonna have another crack at this' - and the same thing happened.
"Just as I'm running outside, the fire engine pulls up and the fireman says: 'Have you been cooking again, Chris?' So then I had to take a walk because I was a bit shaky. As it happened, the fire engine was going the same way, and they said, 'Do you want a lift?'"
