Pettifleur Berenger says Marco Pierre White isn’t so scary.

Pierre White has previously appeared in the original UK series, while his protégé turned culinary foe Ramsay fronts the US version.

Pettifleur Berenger has clashed with David Oldfield on Hell’s Kitchen.

The seasoned-reality star was teamed with One Nation founder David Oldfield where, she admits, the pair butted heads.

Oldfield’s wife recently appeared in the Sydney Housewives series, which did not make the same impact on viewers as its Melbourne counterpart.

Berenger said Oldfield had made her uncomfortable from the get-go in Hell’s Kitchen with complaints about his wife and the disrespectful way he spoke to his female co-stars.

“I talked back to him,” she laughed.

“What can I say, I like to stir the pot.”
