I regret being a naked chef

Baring all ... Gordon Ramsay

 

Says Gordon Ramsay 

FANS of fiery celeb chef Gordon Ramsay will be served an unusual dish in his new American series Hotel Hell.

The growling gourmet exposes more than just bad service — baring all on camera as he tries a hotel’s shower.
Gordon said: “I do regret one thing — getting my ass out in the shower. Because of the sort of secret footage, I had to take a shower like you do in the morning. I know. I’m sorry.”
And although he’s the one taking hoteliers to task over their dodgy decor and low standards of cleanliness, at home it’s Gordon who gets told off.
He said: “My wife yells at me for leaving my socks and pants and my knickers on the floor.
“I react by just sort of turning the shower on and turning the music up.”

Cleaning up ... Gordon Ramsay strips for show

Gordon said for him the worst thing in the new show — which is expected to be shown in the UK by Channel 4 — was the stains he found on the duvet cover of a honeymoon suite.
He said: “The most horrifying thing across the board was the fricking honeymoon suite. It was like a bloody house of horror, I swear to God.
“I just didn’t think it could shoot that far — I’m talking about if you shake a can of Coke and open it.
“I mean shocking. Really shocking. Then I got the owner and every guest in that hotel to come in my room and put a pair of glasses on.”

Gordon said he planned to bring production of the show — in which he visits failing hotels then gives them a make-over with a team of experts — to the UK next year.
But he said that being so famous here would cause problems.
He said: “I’m going to have to get a mask and go incognito because I think I have a recognisable face.”
Despite getting himself into some hairy situations on his British and American shows, including his recent Channel 4 prison series Gordon Behind Bars, Ramsay said he wasn’t trailed by a big security team.
He said: “It’s all very much in the background. I mean I just keep it to a minimum.”
But, he said, his reputation in demanding high standards in hotels and restaurants on his shows does have some benefits when he dines out himself.

He said: “Food may take a little bit longer to come out but I enjoy everything I eat, let me tell you!”
But he added: “I get upset when I see incompetence and I get upset when I see laziness because that’s what I’ve decided to do. That’s my career. That’s me.
“I don’t look at it any different to sport because if you can’t win and be the best, then we’ll continue aiming for the best. So, yeah, I get upset for a reason. I don’t get upset to fake it.”
Ramsay said he was staying in the US for the Olympics but that his children Megan, 14, twins Jack and Holly, 12, and Matilda, ten, were already getting into the sporting spirit with the American diving coaches at the University of California, Los Angeles, before they head to London.
He said: “The kids are all at UCLA today. They’re diving and they’re there with the Olympic trainers and coaches. So we’ll have a few parties and fingers crossed. We’re going to have a nice, long barbecue and tune in.”
