He admitted "I was worried you wouldn't like the grapes" but insisted rosemary combined with the fruit are a "match made in heaven".

But viewers told of their horror of the topping which has been compared to worse than pineapple. 

Twitter user Andrew Horton said: “Grapes on a pizza! As if pineapple wasn’t controversial enough.”

Tony McKelvie said: “The most shocking thing I've heard tonight: Jamie Oliver put grapes on a pizza. With sausages. That's enough. I'm out.”

Angela Reitch said: “Absolutely disgusted watching Jamie Oliver putting grapes on pizza.”

It comes after fellow celeb chef Nigella Lawson was called out for her banana skin curry.

She said: “I can't bear throwing anything away. And when I found out that you could eat banana skins, I couldn't get in the kitchen fast enough. It's a revelation.

"And for those who feel hesitant about the idea, I assure you that you would never guess my banana skin curry had banana skins in it. You wouldn't even think bananas.

"I love that this is a dish made with something that would normally go in the bin, although that wouldn't be enough to justify its presence in the programme. It's there because it is just a glorious thing to eat."
