The irrepressible Gordon Ramsay returns for a new 12-part series of television’s most entertaining food magazine. As ever, the action takes place against the backdrop of a working kitchen staffed by Gordon and his kitchen brigade, but this time his staff are made up of celebrities and their friends and families.

Tonight, the first in the kitchen is Coronation Street’s Wendi Peters’. Geri Halliwell challenges Gordon to beat her recipe for Spanish meatballs, Gavin and Stacey star James Corden bites off more than he can chew and Gordon goes in search of the ultimate deep sea delicacy.

Channel 4 have today admitted that an episode showing Gordon Ramsay supposedly spearfishing for Sea Bass was faked.

Spearfishing expert Dave O’Callaghan told the Sunday Times he had caught the fish the celebrity chef cooked on an open fire in the episode.

“I went in 20 minutes before everyone else to make sure we had fish to put on the barbecue.

“I caught about four and then Gordon got in and we spent about an hour in the water. When we came back in we threaded the fish onto a stringer and he carried them.

“Put it like this: Gordon Ramsay caught f all,” he told the newspaper.

A spokeswoman for Channel 4 said the broadcaster had looked into the incident and discovered the show’s makers had misrepresented what had happened.

“The production company Optomen has informed us that, after investigation, regrettably it appears that one part of the sea bass VT gave viewers an inaccurate impression about Gordon’s involvement.

“We are working with Optomen to ensure this does not happen again.”

She added: “Channel 4 does take such errors of judgment seriously and we regret that viewers may feel they were let down on this occasion.”

For the climax of the BAFTA-nominated food series, the action moves to Gordon’s restaurant at Claridge’s in London’s West End where the most successful amateur brigade of the series will be cooking the lambs that Gordon and his family have been rearing in their back garden.

For the winning brigade it’s the ultimate culinary challenge. Award-winning comedian Ricky Gervais comes for dinner and gets the surprise of his life when he tastes some of the world’s strangest foods. And there’s mayhem in the kitchen as Johnny Vegas cooks pizza in the recipe challenge.

Channel 4, Tuesday 15th May 9PM

During interviews for his most recent series of The F Word on Channel 4, Gordon Ramsay has admitted tht his house has become very competitive over the last year.

Gordon’s wife, Tana, has released her own book, ‘Family Kitchen’ and not only is it outselling Gordon’s books but last week it also outsold Jamie Oliver!

Speaking to Whats On Tv, Gordon admitted that he got a text last week saying:

‘Jamie Oliver – 2,300 copies. Tana Ramsay – 2,900 copies’, so she even outsold him last week! It’s getting very competitive in the house.”

Gordon Ramsay has spoken about his recent dive off the coast of Norway as part of his Channel 4 show, The F Word.

Ramsay went diving for giant crabs in sub zero waters and spent the next three days trying to defrost his nether regions.

He told Closer magazine: “I was in Norway recently diving for Giant King Crabs for the show. It was minus 25 degrees. We came back and I was freezing my nuts off – I swear to God there were ice cubes in my ball bag.

“I won’t be opening a restaurant in Norway – it took three days for my balls to defrost.”

Gordon Ramsay has announced that he is sick of seeing male chefs on TV and wants to find a modern day Fanny Craddock to raise the female profile in cooking.

Gordon told The Sun:

“The world needs a new female cook. I’m genuinely fed up with the glut of alpha male chefs crowding the screen and battling for supremacy.

“I’m horrified by the lack of women cooks – especially on TV. I want to fill the shoes of legendary TV cook Fanny Cradock.”

He will launch his Find Me A Fanny search in the new series of Channel 4’s Gordon Ramsay’s F Word on May 8.

A C4 spokesman said: “If you’re a woman and you think you can show Nigella Lawson and Delia Smith a thing or two, or even Gordon, then he wants you!

“When he finds the winner she’ll even get her own slot on The F Word.”

Gordon Ramsay’s F Word, C4, May 8, 9pm

Gordon Ramsay has managed to unleash the wrath of forer Spice girl, Victoria Beckham in the making of his new series of The F Word.

Gordon asked Victoria to look after 25 lambs for him in her 25 acre garden and she apparently thinks they are ‘cute’.

However Gordon failed to mention that the lambs would be slaughtered and cooked as part of his final show in the F Word series.

A friend of Victoria told The Mirror: “She met them when they were delivered on Monday and thinks they’re adorable. What Gordon neglected to mention, though, was that he was planning to have them killed”

“There was no way she’d have agreed to it had she known and she’s less than impressed at the news” the source added.

What did she think he was going to do? He is a chef after al…it doesn’t take a genius!
