Walk Of SHAME! Bobby Flay tries to deflect attention away from bitter divorce by getting his own Hollywood star… but someone flies 'CHEATER' banner above his head

Celebrity chef Bobby Flay received a star on the Hollywood Walk Of fame - but if he'd hoped the honor would deflect attention from his bitter divorce, he was wrong.

As Flay, 50, addressed the crowd of fans gathered for his big moment, a plane appeared overhead trailing a banner that said: 'Cheater.'

It was taken by many to be aimed at the Food Network star whose estranged wife Stephanie March has accused him of cheating on her during their 10-year marriage.

Those attending the Hollywood Walk Of fame ceremony said the small prop plane flew around the area above Hollywood Boulevard throughout the hour-long ceremony which included speeches by Flay as well as his daughter Sophie Flay, 18, from his second marriage and fellow chef Michael Symon.

Flay is currently locked in a bitter court battle with third wife March, who found fame as ADA Alexandra Cabot in Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.

The actress, 40, has accused him of having affairs including a three-year relationship with one of his assistants.

Flay's team has accused March of digging dirt in order to get a larger divorce payout which was limited by a prenup between the couple.

The 10-year marriage between Flay and March has descended into acrimony and recrimination as the two celebrities fight over money.

Flay filed for divorce on April 10 saying the marriage has 'irretrievably broken down.'

He vehemently denied a report last month in New York Post's Page Six that the break up was the result of his affair with his 28-year-old assistant Elyse Tirrel.

March has also claimed he cheated on her with Mad men star January Jones, according to an article by In Touch Weekly last week.

Under the terms of a prenuptial agreement, March is entitled to $5,000 a month in spousal support following a divorce but the actress argues that it's not enough, especially as she has cut back on her career due to ill health.

She has suffered from a burst appendix and three infections, which she has allegedly claimed in court has prevented her from working as an actress.

But her estranged husband claims her health issues are caused by her decision to undergo breast augmentation surgery, according to TMZ.
