Gordon Ramsay never watches himself on TV
The celebrity cook, 56, is best known for his foul-mouthed persona on shows like ‘Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares’ and ‘The F Word’ but admitted has no interest in self-ridicule and refuses to watch his own shows.
He told My Weekly magazine: “I never watch myself on TV. Even when I’m doing a voiceover, I ask them to remove footage of myself from the screen because it’s a bit weird to go back and watch yourself.”
Gordon’s latest venture saw him back behind the kitchen to front ‘Future Food Stars’ which returned for a second season on BBC One on Thursday (30.03.23).
He added: “I am really excited about the return of ‘Future Food Stars’/ It’s a competition to find food and drinks lifestyle business for me to invest £150k of my own money in. But it isn’t just about money. It’s also about being able to tap into my infrastructure and the amazing team that I’ve spent two and a half decades working with. This year’s contestants are very go-getting, competitive, and a little disruptive.”
The show, which has been likened to ‘The Apprentice’ with a culinary twist, sees amateur cooks being put through their paces as they aim to whip up a recipe for success. Ramsay is ready to give away £150k of his own money as he hunts for the next entrepreneur.
He said: “Describing this series as ‘The Apprentice for food’ is b*****ks! They are cast for their businesses, and not the way they behave in front of Lord Sugar! The aim is to showcase and shine a light on some of the amazing places, people, and their businesses making the UK food and drink industry so exciting right now. We start and end the series in my homeland Scotland, and travel all over the UK.”
