'Hello nasty people': Celeb chef unleashes on trolls in expletive-ridden rant

Celebrity chef Colin Fassnidge has issued a brutal response to trolls who criticised his appearance.

The 52-year-old My Kitchen Rules star shared an expletive-ridden takedown of his critics on social media, who had previously made comments regarding his age, weight and "greasy" hair.

"Hello nasty people," the chef captioned the tirade, revealing that he'd recently regained access to his Facebook – only to be met by a slew of abuse from commenters.

Watch the video above.

"So I got locked out of Facebook a few years ago, got back in, f--- knows why," Fassnidge began in the colourful clip.

He criticised abuse from "middle-aged privileged white people who are just nasty and bored" before going on to reference a number of the comments he'd received directly.

"'Jesus, 'your hair's greasy, you're fat, you're looking old'", Fassnidge quoted.

He alleged several commenters also took aim at Fassnidge's recent television collaboration with fellow celebrity chef Manu Feildel – Off the Grid with Colin and Manu.

"'The show's s---, you're s---, your food's s---,'" the chef claimed the commenters in question wrote.

Fans were quick to come to Fassnidge's defence in the comments, offering a show of support for the slighted chef.

"Love you! Love your cooking! And you look amazing!" wrote one fan, while another simply said "you are the best."

But not all comments on the video were positive, with one in particular criticising his age and hair, echoing trolls' original comments on the star.

The Dublin-born chef's career has spanned decades, beginning at London's Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons as a protégé of renowned French chef Raymond Blanc.

He has since made his mark in Sydney as a television personality and author, going on to open acclaimed restaurants Four in Hand and 4Fourteen.
