Jamie Oliver's US reality show

Jamie Oliver Rex Features

Jamie Oliver is set to become the new British 'Mr Nice' of US reality TV.

The health-conscious chef is set to guest-star on Oprah Winfrey's new show, The Big Give, where ten contestants – including a beauty queen – are given cash each week to help each other.

The more good they do, the more likely they are to win the $1 million cash prize at the end of the show. Charity cases include a mum whose husband was killed by robbers.

But, unlike American Idol's British 'Mr Nasty', Simon Cowell, Jamie, picked for his proven charity-championing track record (his Fifteen restaurant helped problem youths, and Jamie's School Dinners sparked an overhaul of school menus) will be nothing but nice to the contestants.

Oprah said: 'He'll help me make the biggest giver the biggest winner of all.'

Why is Jamie Oliver treated like a saint? He could not fulfill the remit in school dinners but was declared a hero.The winner of the Fifteen competition is virtually bankrupt due to the repairs on the listed building he "won". He critised supermarkets for not giving farmers a fair price for chickens yet has no qualms about accepting his fee for advertising Sainsburys
