A set of twins from Gypsy Hill have missed out on the chance to open a restaurant with world renowned chef Raymond Blanc.

Jess and Laura Tilli lost the final of BBC Two show The Restaurant after eight gruelling weeks in the competition.

During the series, restaurateur Raymond carefully judged nine couples to decide who he thought would be the most successful pair to run a restaurant with.

The final challenge was to run a restaurant in France for a night - serving food to Raymond, his mother and their friends.

The twins said of Raymond: "The great man himself is an absolute legend. He's such a kind and genuine man with so much passion for what he does - it's massively inspiring."
