A POPULAR rapper is teaming up with a TV chef for what promises to be one of the strangest moments of this summer s Oxfordshire festival season. Multi-platinum hip-hop star Professor Green teams up with chef Gizzi Erksine – known for her appearances on shows Cook Yourself Thin and This Morning – for their Giz ‘n’ Greens show at The Big Feastival. The duo inspired millions online over the last year with their ‘Monday Night Fakeaways’ series, leading to their own pop-up restaurant in Shoreditch, London. The Big Feastival, hosted by Blur guitarist Alex James, on his farm in Kingham near Chipping Norton is billed as a celebration of music, food and family. Earlier this week it added dance-pop singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor, chart-topper Tom Grennan, singer-songwriters Maisie Peters and Emily Burns, and melodic pop band Kawala to its line-up for August 27-29.
