Gordon Ramsay's Delia dupe

24-10-2008 13:00

Gordon Ramsay duped fellow TV chef Delia Smith when he disguised himself as an elderly man and went to one of her cooking workshops.

The foul-mouthed cook was entirely transformed by a team of specialists to make him look like an old man, wearing spectacles and a cardigan, before he went to the workshop and asked Delia to pose for a photograph with him.

Gordon also adopted a Scottish accent for the prank, which was filmed for his Channel 4 show 'Cookalong Live'.

Father-of-three Gordon came clean to Delia three weeks later outside Norwich City football ground, and the cooking genius - regularly dubbed 'Saint Delia' by fans - was said to be "shocked" by his makeover.

This is not the first time Gordon has attempted to dupe a fellow chef.

In another episode of 'Cookalong Live', he is seen in a workshop with Italian cook Aldo Zilli, but Zilli soon cottoned on when Gordon, in character, kept asking questions about the ingredients being used.
