‘It’s absolutely disgusting!’: Gordon Ramsay is SLAMMED by Saturday Night Takeaway viewers after he insults a woman’s teeth
He’s known for his biting commentary, but even Gordon Ramsay upset fans with a comment about a contestant’s teeth on Ant & Dec‘s Saturday Night Takeaway.
The celebrity chef, 54, was making a guest appearance on the variety show and taking part in a game of Read My Lips with a woman when he made the nasty comment.
Unfortunately the father-of-five didn’t fare so well with the noise-cancelling headphones as he failed to lip read her saying the prompt ‘garlic bread’.
‘Gordon Ramsay was slammed for making a personal jibe about a woman’s teeth on Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway on Saturday
After a failed attempt, Gordon told the hosts ‘it’s the gap in her teeth I can’t understand what she’s saying!’.
Fans flooded Twitter to slam the Kitchen Nightmares host for his remarks, with some even judging the hosts for not taking action.
One person wrote: ‘I cant believe #gordonramsay just insulted that ladys teeth live on prime time TV! Am so disgusted I’ve switched it off! Ant & Dec laughing and didn’t say anything!! Well done what a fantastic example you all are!! [sic]’.
While another viewer typed: ‘How can Gordon Ramsay just destroy that poor woman’s front teeth like that?’.

Social storm: Fans flooded Twitter to slam the Kitchen Nightmares host for his remarks, with some even judging the hosts for not taking action
A third said ‘what a d**k move insulting someone’s teeth on live TV. Honestly be a nicer person. Get back down to earth and take out your veneers GR!’
Still, not everyone was upset. One fan thought everyone was overreacting, writing: ‘People are actually offended by Gordon Ramsay insulting that woman’s teeth HAHAHAHAHAHA’ while another tagged the chef and said: ‘teeth joke was class’ with two laughing emojis.
The potty-mouthed restauranteur also managed to break his promise not to swear on the family-friendly programme, saying ‘p****d’ early in the show.
Divided: Others weren’t so offended, with one dismissing fellow fans and another even complimenting the chef for the joke
His slip of the tongue comes minutes after the hosts, both 45, warned him about his language, with the duo joking they had splashed out on a bleep machine to censor out any rude words.
Though Gordon was oblivious to the blunder, Ant was quick to say sorry to viewers following Gordon’s slip-up.
He told the camera: ‘We do have to apologise for you language halfway through that – it may have sounded like a swear word.’
And it wasn’t just Ant that noticed as viewers at home were quick to comment on Gordon’s mistake.
‘All that at the start about a beep machine for Gordon Ramsey and he really swears and they miss it’ tweeted one viewer.
While another remarked: ‘swore already. So much for the bleep machine.’
Oh dear: Meanwhile Ant and Dec were forced to apologise after Gordon swore live on air, just 11 minutes into the show
