Andy, Kim and their guests will sit down for a lavish dinner masterminded by none other than Michel Roux Jr and his father Albert Roux.While the sportsman previously said that he has left much of the planning and aesthetic design down to artistic Kim, he admitted he took a keen interest in ensuring the food and cake would be spot on. "The one thing that I really wanted to do was be involved with the food," he told Rolling Stone magazine. "Because I like my food, I like good food. I went along and did the food tasting and I also did the cake tasting as well. So that would be the thing that I would say I have been most involved in. "Indeed double Michelin-starred chef Michel Roux Jr revealed exclusively to HELLO! Online that although he was sworn to secrecy about the nature of the menu, guests could expect "delicious food".
