Gordon Ramsay managed to stop himself from swearing on This Morning during a live cooking segment.
The famously foul-mouthed chef appeared on the ITV daytime show on Monday to cook up a delicious dish, but almost turned the air blue with his bold choice of language.
While chatting to hosts Holly Willoughby and Philip Schofield, Gordon managed to set his pan alight, causing it to briefly burst into flames as he was holding it.
“Oh s**t-ake!” he exclaimed, as his quick-thinking helped him swerve an embarrassing incident.
The 54-year-old was on the show to promote his new cookbook, Ramsay in 10, which features recipes he worked on during the pandemic.
He was inspired to upload a series of meals in 10 minutes on YouTube, after the Covid-19 lockdown forced him to close his Michelin star restaurants, and has now turned them into a handy cookbook.
In the This Morning kitchen, he cooked up a delicious pudding he promised viewers could be rustled up in just 10 minutes, and wowed Holly and Phil with the French toast with butterscotch apples and sesame brittle.
Viewers were delighted with his appearance, with many impressed with his wicked sense of humour, as he took aim at his fellow TV chef Gino D'Acampo.
Gordon, 54, was on hand to answer questions from viewers, who had pitched the award-winning chef their tricky cooking questions.
“How can I make my lasagne more interesting?" one asked Gordon, as a picture of their efforts popped up on the screen.
"Yeah, it looks like one of Gino D'Acampo's from Asda at £2.59. I said defrosted frozen, right,” he quipped, prompting Holly and Phil to burst into a fit of giggles.
He further poked fun at the Italian chef, as he said after defrosting the lasagne, there would be a “pool of water” on the top of it.
"And Gino, you should know better - use expensive British cheddar cheese on your frozen lasagne at Asda at £4.99 for two!” he laughed.
However, the Kitchen Nightmares star later heaped praise on his Gordon, Gino and Fred's Road Trip co-star, and despite calling him “seriously high maintenance”, he said he adores the much-loved telly star.
“I swear to God. He's the biggest pain in the butt I know, but he's a lovely pain in the butt. He's that cuddly, adorable little monster,” Gordon shared.
“The one that you always want to refer back to when you want a cuddle. And high maintenance, seriously high maintenance," he added.
