He’s famous for turning the air blue with his fiery outbursts during his many TV shows.
And Gordon Ramsay has told how fans are such admirers of his expletive-filled rants that they literally beg for him to tell them to ‘f**k off’.
However, while the TV chef, 56, seemingly doesn’t mind obliging the strange requests, he finds it ‘weird’ when asked to swear in front of his three-year-old son Oscar.

Speaking to The Sun, he explained: ‘They say, “Can you tell me to f**k off?” I don’t know why. I get it at traffic lights, “Oi Gordon, tell us to f**k off you k***head” – from a van driver to a lawyer to a NHS nurse.
‘If I am stood there with Oscar (his three-year-old son), it is a bit weird.’
Meanwhile, Gordon opened up on his new TV show Next Level Chef, where he told that his swearing if not only aimed at contestants, but his fellow judges too.

Next Level Chef will see an array of hopefuls including home cooks, influencers, and professional chefs battle it out for a £100,000 prize and 12-month mentorship.
He’s joined by Californian chef Nyesha Arrington and his former protege Paul Ainsley, with Gordon telling how their first meeting for the show was ‘packed with a lot of curse words.’
He added: ‘I’m not trying to make amends, it is an industry language, no different to politics over the last couple of months. There were a lot of f**ks coming out of there. It is an industry language, I don’t focus on the camera, I focus on the moment to make sure it is right.’

The chef went on to add that while he sometimes communicates with expletives, he has one definitive way of telling contestants he hates their food – by spitting it out.
He added that if something appears inedible to him, there would be ‘no way on Earth’ that he’d swallow it.
It comes after Lord Sugar blasted Gordon by accusing the TV chef of ‘ripping off’ The Apprentice with his show Future Food Stars.

The tycoon, 75, told MailOnline that Gordon should ‘stick to his day job’ after he launched the new series last year, which sees 12 entrepreneurs compete for a £150,000 investment of the restaurateur’s own money to start a food business.
He insists the format of Gordon’s show that returned to BBC One with a second series on Thursday is a ‘virtual rip-off’ of The Apprentice and says he doesn’t understand how lawyers allowed it to go ahead.
Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, Lord Sugar said: ‘I think broadcasters, Channel 4, Channel 5, and ITV have tried for many years at least for 17 years to try and replicate the elimination process of The Apprentice. I say this with great respect to them but they’ve failed.

‘Last year, Gordon Ramsay had some cockamamie idea… I like Gordon and I think he’s very good and should stick to what he should do, cooking and all that stuff.
‘He had some thing, which was like, I don’t know how the lawyers allowed it because it was a virtual rip-off of The Apprentice. No disrespect to Gordon but stick to your day job mate that’s all I would say.’
Gordon Ramsay’s Future Food Stars aired for the first time in 2022 on BBC One and the second series will begin later this year.
