The famous chef is known for his foul language and furious attitude in the kitchen, and has been viciously roasting terrible meals made by amateur chefs on Twitter for the past year in his free time.
And now Gordon Ramsay is set to join MasterChef Australia, where 24 hopefuls will need to impress the foodie to stay in the competition.
A Channel Ten spokesperson confirmed on Tuesday: ‘Gordon will be part of MasterChef in 2018 – In the 10th birthday celebration of MasterChef.’
Heat in the kitchen! Channel Ten confirms famous foul-mouth chef Gordon Ramsay will join MasterChef in 2018… after judge George Calombaris slammed the TV star for bullying
Despite current MasterChef judge George Calombaris being against Gordon joining the show in the past, the chef will join George, Gary Mehigan and Matt Preston for the anticipated 10th season.
In an interview with Herald Sun in 2011, George revealed he didn’t like Gordon and wouldn’t want the star to appear on the program because of his known nature to bully contestants.
He said: ‘If they wanted to have Gordon on, OK, but I wouldn’t stand for it (bullying contestants)… I would have to take him outside. I don’t believe it’s necessary to belittle and attack a person. That’s not what our show is about.’
