Gordon Ramsey
I completely agree with the fragrant Mary Berry, I am tired of seeing that oafish cunt on the TV criticising everyone from fellow chefs to hoteliers.... what the fuck makes him think he can beat the gorgeous Alex Polizzi (Hotel Inspector and heiress to the Forte hotel empire) in that game?
Over exposed CUNT, he should fuck off to the US and continue to produce his crap there. I used to respect him for his cooking abilities, but he's probably lost that too given that he hasn't actually got time to cook any more
'I hate Gordon Ramsay's shows' – Mary Berry makes case for wholesome TV

The Great British Bake Off judge Mary Berry has said she hates chef Gordon Ramsay's foul-mouthed television programmes, and condemned TV more widely as "violent, cruel and noisy".
She said her BBC2 baking show, which started in 2010, had been a success because it was wholesome entertainment for all the family.
Berry said: "The Great British Bake Off is family entertainment. There aren't many programmes where all ages can sit and watch from beginning to end.
"Everything else is violent, cruel and noisy. We're educational without viewers realising it. I hate Gordon Ramsay's programmes: I don't know if he's been told it makes good television."
The 78-year-old served up praise for Jamie Oliver in the interview with the Radio Times, but said it had taken time to warm to him.
"James [sic] Oliver is a joy. I saw him yesterday and he agreed that when he was 23 he was irritating, bumptious and over the top, but he's made cooking fun," she said.
The Great British Bake Off returns to BBC2 on 20 August, when a fresh batch of amateur bakers will put their souffles to the test in the show's fourth series.
Berry and her judging partner, Paul Hollywood, are the stars of an unlikely hit: last year's series finale had nearly 7 million viewers.
But fans should not expect to see Berry swapping the kitchen for the BBC1 ballroom any time soon.
"I'm a showoff, but only with things I do well," she said. "I won't do Strictly or any of those ghastly reality programmes. I'm a Celebrity would be the end. It makes me shudder."
Berry, who has published 70 cookery books, said her programme also benefited from a lack of artifice.
"We're immensely honest," she said. "Normally producers say it would be better television to have a mix of men and women in the finals, or someone from Scotland, but there's none of that."
Bake Off's success is perhaps all the more of a surprise when compared with the reception for Simon Cowell's Food Glorious Food, a rival cookery competition which launched on ITV in February with fewer than 3 million viewers – Cowell's lowest-rating launch ever.
Hollywood told the magazine: "I can't understand why Bake Off is so successful. The music is one reason, and the fact we're in a tent, which is like a circus. People gravitate to it.
"Nostalgia is key – it reminds viewers of what they had as a kid. And baking is approachable. If you have a good set of digital scales and follow the recipe, it will work. Even international rugby players make fairy cakes."
Hollywood's domestic life has come under intense media scrutiny as a result of his newfound fame: he recently left his wife of 15 years amid rumours of a relationship with his American Baking Competition co-star, celebrity chef Marcela Valladolid.
The Merseyside-born Hollywood, who started his career at his father's bakery in Cheshire, denied that fame had taken its toll on his private life, but opened up about the effect of the public gaze on his separation. "I didn't think Bake Off would be like this, although you have to be an egomaniac to do it," he said. "Anyone who says they're not is kidding themselves. You couldn't put yourself in front of a camera otherwise.
"I thought I'd spend my life making baguettes, muffins, croissants. I might have been happier if I had. One day I'll disappear and hide in a corner of Britain. I'll own a bakery in a village, live above it, have a big garden because I like mowing.
"I want to get up when I feel like it, let people queue for my products and when they're gone, shut the shop and think about tomorrow. Creating magic – that's my dream. And I'll do it."
