TV chef Gordon Ramsay<\/a> has been criticised for his behaviour on the set of Hell’s Kitchen by Coronation Street legend Amanda Barrie.<\/p>\n

Amanda, 89, appeared on the series in 2004 but dramatically walked out after attempting to hit Ramsay in the face during a heated kitchen clash.<\/p>\n

In her memoir I\u2019m Still Here: My 90 Years, she branded Ramsay a bully and claimed his \u201cvicious\u201d behaviour left some contestants needing tranquilisers to cope, The Sun reports.<\/p>\n

Amanda wrote: “We all knew the show was a vehicle for Gordon<\/a> but not that he was going to take every opportunity to insult and humiliate us.”<\/p>\n

She says that her fellow contestant, ex-Tory MP Edwina Currie<\/a>, received some of the worst treatment on set, with claims Ramsay called her “diseased”, “poisonous” and a “pathetic b***h”. He allegedly told her: “One minute you\u2019re shagging the Prime Minister and now you are trying to shag me from behind.”<\/p>\n

Ramsay also has traits in common with US President Donald Trump, according to Amanda, who wrote that they were “both bullies”.<\/p>\n

Amanda said she left the show my mutual consent following her altercation with Ramsay. At the time, she mocked him for calling security, saying: “I have never seen a face that was asking more to be slapped.”<\/p>\n

Recalling the event years later, she said: \u201cI\u2019ll never live that down.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf it had been a bit harder it would have been better. I\u2019ve never hit anyone unless it was well deserved.\u201d<\/p>\n

Amanda starred as Alma Baldwin on Coronation Street for 20 years until the character’s departure. She had a lofty career in classical theatre before that, and starred as Cleopatra in the 1964 film Carry On Cleo.<\/p>\n

Plans are reportedly afoot for Hell\u2019s Kitchen to make its return to the UK <\/a>after ITV bosses entered talks with Ramsay\u2019s team about reviving the series. He only hosted one UK season, but it remains memorable for his trademark put-downs and clashes with celebrity contestants.<\/p>\n

Ramsay launched the US version in 2005, where it became a ratings smash and cemented his global reputation. In 2018 he opened the first Hell\u2019s Kitchen restaurant in Las Vegas<\/a>, serving dishes such as beef wellington and sticky toffee pudding.<\/p>\n

There are now seven Hell\u2019s Kitchen restaurants across the US, including locations in Las Vegas, Miami, California and Washington DC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"TV chef Gordon Ramsay has been criticised for his behaviour on the set of Hell’s Kitchen by Coronation…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":119616,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[57121,2525,57122,96,25074,57120,391,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-119615","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-amanda-barrie","tag-coronation-street","tag-edwina-currie","tag-entertainment","tag-gordon-ramsay","tag-hells-kitchen","tag-tv","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119615","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=119615"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119615\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/119616"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=119615"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=119615"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=119615"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
