Gordon Ramsay has applied for planning permission to install a £40,000 igloo-style hut in his back garden.
The celebrity chef, 52, is hoping to get the go-ahead to erect the hut outside his home in Cornwall.
The application, which has been submitted to Cornwall Council, reveals Ramsay will be using the igloo as self-catering accommodation for guests.
According to documents obtained by Cornwall Live , the paperwork states: "It would provide semi-independent self-contained accommodation for the applicant’s family and visiting friends but used as accommodation incidental to the enjoyment of the main property, Daymer Bay House.
"Providing space for a bed, kitchen/living room area and toilet, the outbuilding would have a insulated wooden frame faced externally with spruce shingles and finished internally with aspen wall panelling and an insulated floor.
"It would be 2.3m high and 8.7m long, with a width of 2.3mand have an internal floor space of 16.6m square."
The igloo structures are believed to be made in Estonia by a company called Iglucraft.
The company is known for making handcrafted saunas and cabins, which range from just under £10,000 to around £40,000.
Ramsay owns four homes in Cornwall after splashing out around £10 million on expanding his property empire in the south west.
The igloo has been earmarked for the family's home near Daymer Bay, while he's also building another home in the area and renovating a third.
He also owns a fourth house which he was reportedly planning to use while the construction works were being carried out.
Gordon and his wife Tana are parents to five children, including new baby Oscar who arrived earlier this year.
