Gordon Ramsay angers locals in Scottish town after slagging it off on TV show

Gordon Ramsay has managed to upset an entire Scottish town after he called it a "s***hole" on national TV.

The potty-mouthed television chef made the remark about Falkirk in an episode of his new television show.

The Michelin starred chef, who's well known for his his foul-mouthed rants, slated the area during an episode of his new BBC One quiz show.

Bank Balance, which airs tonight, sees a contestant duo mistakingly name Falkirk as one of five cities in Scotland, reports the Daily Record.

It was then the show host told them that he was born in Scotland, and that, "Falkirk is not a city. It’s a s***hole, I swear to God.”

The cheeky jibe hasn't gone down too well though, with many people blasting him on Facebook and Twitter.

Another wrote: "How dare he, it's not that bad. Pump some cash into the town if you think it's that bad then ya tosser."

However, some people did agree with Ramsay.

A third posted: "Aye, he's right, liked here for years...it is a f****** s***hole."
