Things Are Getting F***ing Bad For Gordon Ramsay

Things aren’t going well for Gordon Ramsay lately; first he had to contend with revelations of his affair and now he is in hot water again.
The latest ’scandal’ is quite familiar to Ramsay and focuses completely on his use of the ‘F’ word in his show.
The latest airing of ‘Gordon’s Great British Nightmare’ broke a new record, with Ramsay swearing 243 times and using the F-word 187 times in the that ran for 103 minutes.
Not to be outdone, his guests on the show added to the overall total of 312 expletives, with one 95 second scene laden with 37 obscenities.
The show, on UK’s Channel 4 was inundated with calls complaining about the language, with some posting the usual calls for his sacking.
In reality, it is nothing more than an act to generate publicity and until now, it has worked wonders for his profile and bank account.
The problem is, things get old. Adding quantity to the mixture is not a recipe for success, as Gordon should well know.
I met a chef who worked with Ramsay, so I asked him how much of what we see in his shows is reality and how much is purely hype and theatre.
His answer was that Gordon was actually a very nice bloke and what you see on television is nothing more than an act. As this chef said, who would put up with that kind of abuse?
