IT seems celebrity chef Manu Feildel plays by his own rules - not just in the heat of the kitchen but also on the road.
The My Kitchen Rules frontman was a little red-faced yesterday after being busted driving through eastern suburbs streets on a learner's licence with no L-plates or a supervising driver.
Less than 10 minutes after returning to his Woollahra home from a driving lesson with a female friend he must have been feeling confident because he removed the L-plates from his silver Koleos 4WD and took to the streets - alone - to run some errands.
First stop was Edgecliff Post Office, a short five-minute journey, where the French chef practised a reverse park on New McLean St.
He then drove down the hill to Double Bay Local Hardware, parked and went in to buy a hacksaw.
Moments later Feildel jumped into his vehicle and started the ignition just as The Daily Telegraph approached him to ask about his status as a learner driver. Embarrassed, Feildel mouthed "Shhh".
Rather than drive off, he switched off the ignition, got out of the car, walked down Knox Lane and hailed a taxi.
Last night, Feildel admitted he'd been a bit silly. "No excuses. I take full responsibility for my silly actions and I will accept whatever punishment that may be handed down to me," he said.
A witness said Feildel appeared to be in a rush as he parked and ran into the hardware store: "He parked his car quickly, got out and walked into the hardware store. He got back into the car, turned it on, but then bizarrely, he jumped out and walked towards the main road and hailed a cab."
It's understood the Frenchman, who has admitted it has taken him several years to get around to sitting for his Australian licence, is no stranger to experiencing problems on the road.
In 2011 Feildel wrote off his high-powered Yamaha TMAX scooter, reportedly on L-plates at the time.
Police can suspend and confiscate the licence of a learner driving caught driving unaccompanied by a supervising driver. The suspension can happen within 48 hours of the offence being committed.
If charged, the suspension will apply for three months.
My Kitchen Rules, meanwhile, is scheduled to return to air on Monday night.
