Fellow 'sampling' every second? Bloody odd TV chef (5)

I believe the answer is:

floyd

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'odd tv chef' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'fellow sampling every second? bloody' is the wordplay.
'fellow' becomes 'fd' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'sampling' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'every second?' means one should take alternating letters (I've seen 'every second of' mean this).
The alternating letters of 'bloody' are 'loy'.
'fd' enclosing 'loy' is 'FLOYD'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for floyd that I've seen is " Pink - - ,rock band".)
