A chef at Wetherspoons claims he has been suspended after filming "behind the scenes" videos showing how dishes are made at the popular pub chain.

The man, who goes by J Salsa on TikTok, made a series of viral videos demonstrating how chefs prepare meals like the full English breakfast and chicken korma.

Several were watched more than a million times, with viewers reacting positively to dishes that appeared to be made with fresh ingredients, while others lamented recipes that seemed to rely on pre-prepared food.

J Salsa posted a new video on Monday, in which he apologised to Wetherspoons boss Tim Martin for the videos and said he had been suspended pending the outcome of a disciplinary meeting.
