The former tabloid editor, who claims that he has never cooked in his life, also joked that the chef used to hold his knife in a "threatening manner" when they were in the kitchen together.
"I like the stares. I describe it as the 'stare-way' to heaven. He describes himself as Fred As-stare!" said MacKenzie.
"I do notice that he holds that knife in a threatening manner. I am sure at some stage there would have been a 'disobliging article' [in my newspaper]. But basically he could fill the Thames with the cuttings of his life."
Speaking about his cookery skills, he joked: "The fact is, I have never cooked in my life... ever. I mean, literally. Only over the last few years have I learned to put a chicken in the Aga. In fact I give myself a pat on the back when I pour out my Kelloggs in the morning. It's the adding of the milk. I had to go to night school for that."
Marco's Kitchen Burnout starts at 9pm on Friday on ITV1.
